Windham Woman Sentenced to 15 Years for Selling More than 1.5 Kilos of Methamphetamine to Undercover Officer

Press Release

Mandy Shorey was in possession of a firearm at the time of her arrest

PORTLAND, Maine: A Windham woman was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for trafficking methamphetamine and for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Torresen sentenced Mandy Lynn Shorey, 43, to 180 months to be followed by five years of supervised release.

According to court records, between July 2022 and January 2023, Shorey sold approximately 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine to an undercover officer across four controlled buys. For three of the buys, the purity of the methamphetamine Shorey sold to police approached 100%. During one of the buys, Shorey explained that she carried a firearm with her for protection when she met with new drug customers and removed the firearm from a bag and placed it in her waistband. During another exchange, she told the undercover officer that meeting her to conduct their next transaction would be safe because she would "bring one armed man to back me up that they will never see, just in case." When Shorey was arrested, she was in possession of a Charter Arms .22 revolver.

The FBI Safe Streets Task Force investigated the case.
