BANGOR, Maine:  A Brighton, Massachusetts woman was sentenced in federal court today for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Darcie N. McElwee announced.

U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Kimberly Tompkins, 52, to 10 years in prison and five years of supervised release. Tompkins pleaded guilty in November 2021.

According to court records, between January 2017 and August 2018, Tompkins and other members of the conspiracy distributed large quantities of methamphetamine in northern Maine. Tompkins coordinated multi-pound shipments of methamphetamine from Arizona to conspirators who distributed it in Aroostook County. Tompkins also sent thousands of dollars in cash to the out-of-state source to supply the drug trafficking enterprise.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency investigated the case.

Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces: This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.
