PORTLAND — Doug Bixby, 25, of Lewiston was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court to serve 57 months in prison for possession of cocaine base, commonly known as crack, with intent to distribute.

According to a written statement from U.S. Attorney Thomas E. Delahanty II, Bixby will also serve three years of supervised release following his release. He pleaded guilty to the charge in February.

According to court records, on Aug. 28, 2014, Bixby was found by police at a Pine Street apartment in Lewiston in possession of a sawed-off shotgun, six boxes of shotgun shells, 24.6 grams of crack cocaine, a digital scale and small plastic baggies.

According to the statement at the time, surveillance cameras were set up in the hallway outside Bixby’s apartment with a live feed displayed on a monitor in his bedroom. He was on state probation for drug trafficking.

The investigation was conducted by the Lewiston Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
