PORTLAND — An Auburn man has pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiring to traffic crack cocaine and cocaine in the Twin Cities, according to officials.

David Goyette, 27, pleaded guilty last Friday in U.S. District Court in Portland to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and 28 grams or more of crack cocaine.

According to court records, from 2011 through June 2013, Goyette obtained kilogram quantities of cocaine from Massachusetts, cooked some of it into crack cocaine and distributed both substances in the Lewiston-Auburn area.

Court officials said June 3, 2013, that Goyette made plans to meet his supplier the next day in Boston. Police and drug agents followed Goyette as he drove from Auburn to Boston, according to court records. In Boston, police watched as Goyette and his supplier met and then left in separate vehicles.

Shortly after, both vehicles were stopped and agents said they recovered about $25,000 in the supplier’s vehicle. The following day, search warrants were executed at Goyette’s and his mother’s residences in Auburn. In a closet outside the mother’s apartment, court officials said, agents recovered about 500 grams of cocaine and a digital scale. Inside Goyette’s apartment, agents recovered expensive jewelry.

Goyette faces between five and 40 years in prison and a $5 million fine. He will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation Office.

The joint investigation was conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and the Auburn Police Department, and the ongoing effort of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, a partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies.

The principal mission of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation’s illegal drug supply.
