GREENBELT, Md. - Federal prosecutors say a Maine man has been sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for his involvement in a scheme to distribute cocaine and marijuana from Arizona to several states.
Fifty-eight-year-old Timothy Moody of Warren, Maine, was sentenced to a total of 12 years and five months on Monday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt for conspiracy to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine and more than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana.
Prosecutors say Ruben Lopez led the conspiracy that sent hundreds of kilograms of cocaine and thousands of kilograms of marijuana from Arizona to Maryland, Ohio, Georgia, Maine and elsewhere.
They say Lopez sent a sample of about 125 pounds of marijuana to Moody in Maine in 2004 under a load of watermelons, but one bale was accidentally delivered with watermelons to a food bank in Maine. Prosecutors say on other occasions Moody helped deliver drugs and collect money for Lopez.
