PORTLAND, Maine - DEA New England Division Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Boyle and United States Attorney Halsey B. Frank announced that Fray Cayetano, 23, of Lawrence, Mass., was sentenced today in U.S. District Court by Judge D. Brock Hornby to 69 months in prison and three years of supervised release for distributing fentanyl and conspiring to distribute fentanyl and cocaine base, commonly known as, “crack.” Cayetano pled guilty on Oct. 17, 2018.

This case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Kittery, York and Eliot police departments.
