BANGOR – A Massachusetts woman was sentenced on Monday in U.S. District Court to 16 months in federal prison for her part in a drug ring that sold cocaine out of two Bangor residences and local motels.

Chelsea Andrews, 25, of Brookline, Mass., also was sentenced to three years of probation after her release.

She pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and possession with the intent to distribute cocaine. She faced up to 20 years in prison and a fine of more than $1 million on each charge.

Andrews was arrested on April 19, 2004, with three others in Bangor by the Bangor Police Department Special Enforcement Team.

She and two men took a bus trip from Boston to Bangor with a pound of cocaine in a duffel bag. Theresa Mayhew, 26, of Levant picked up Andrews, Clifton Davis, 24, of Potecasi, N.C., and Kelvin Deloatch, 23, of Woodland, N.C., at a bus station on Union Street in Bangor.

All four – along with William Ahrendt, 45, of Bangor and Randy Brimley, 26, of Roxbury, Mass. – were indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this year.

Brimley and Ahrendt were linked to the operation after Bangor police went through the trash outside Ahrendt’s residence on Garland Street.

Mayhew, Andrews, Davis, and Deloatch pleaded guilty to drug charges this summer. Deloatch is scheduled to be sentenced next month. Sentencing dates for Mayhew and Davis have not been set.

Ahrendt, a convicted sex offender, was convicted last month by a jury on the federal drug charges following a three-day trial. Ahrendt represented himself.

Brimley’s trial is set to begin next month in federal court in Bangor. He also is facing drug similar charges in Massachusetts. His trial there has been delayed until after the trial in Maine.

Mayhew, Brimley, Ahrendt and Deloatch primarily ran the Bangor operation from Ahrendt’s Bangor residences on York and Garland streets, according to court documents. They also sold cocaine from rooms at local motels.
