BANGOR, Maine — An Augusta woman has been sentenced to more than 2 years in prison for selling oxycodone pills to an undercover informant.
Federal prosecutors say 33-year-old Jennifer Dowling was also sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Bangor to three years of probation.
Prosecutors say Dowling sold 37 pills to a confidential informant for $1,000 on May 9, 2012, at the Interstate 95 park-and-ride lot in West Gardiner.
The informant was fitted with a recording device and was accompanied by a Maine Drug Enforcement Agency agent at the time of the buy.
Dowling had faced a sentence of almost six years, but her lawyer tells the Kennebec Journal that the judge took into account her rehabilitation efforts and the fact she is working.
