Auburn Man Pleads Guilty After Being Caught on Video Selling Crack Cocaine

PORTLAND, Maine: An Auburn man pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Portland to distributing and possessing with intent to distribute controlled substances.

According to court records, in May and June 2024, agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) directed a confidential source to conduct two controlled buys from Pierre Calhoun, 39, with both transactions captured on video and audio recordings. The DEA lab later tested the seized drugs and confirmed them to be approximately 24.7 grams of crack cocaine.

Calhoun faces up to 20 years imprisonment and a fine up to $1 million. Any sentence would be followed by no less than three years of supervised release. A federal district judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

The DEA investigated the case.
