Bangor Man Receives Six Years in Prison for Drug Trafficking

BANGOR, Maine — Bradley Bellfleur, 33, of Bangor received a six-year federal prison sentence on May 14 for drug trafficking, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.

The sentence includes five years of supervised release after incarceration. Bellfleur is one individual defendant processed through the federal system; the case produced no aggregate figures on total defendants, seized quantities or linked co-conspirators in the charging or sentencing documents.

Prior to sentencing Bellfleur was at liberty or in pretrial status. The new judgment moves him immediately into Bureau of Prisons custody for a term that begins upon designation to a facility, with supervised release to commence upon completion of the prison term in 2032 absent any good-time adjustments.

The court imposed the sentence under federal trafficking statutes that carry mandatory minimums and supervised-release terms.

Downstream the conviction requires the clerk of the U.S. District Court in Maine to transmit judgment to the Federal Bureau of Prisons for inmate designation and to the U.S. Probation Office for post-release monitoring. Federal law automatically triggers collection of a special assessment and any fine or restitution ordered; the Department of Justice can pursue civil forfeiture of assets tied to the trafficking conduct.

The case now joins the docket of completed prosecutions that federal prosecutors cite when reporting annual enforcement statistics to Congress and the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

This sentencing is the latest individual resolution in the District of Maine, which has handled repeated federal trafficking cases tied to the regional opioid and methamphetamine supply. The Department of Justice press release provides the sole primary record; no companion indictments, laboratory results or multi-defendant superseding information were included in the announcement.
