At that time Auburn police officers seized a significant amount fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine from the vehicle she was in. The following day Friday, January 21, 2022, MDEA agents executed a search warrant on Quirion’s home in Bangor..

The amount of fentanyl seized was over 201 times the amount of fentanyl (6 grams) required to trigger a 4-year mandatory-minimum jail sentence. The amount of methamphetamine seized was
over 13 times the amount of methamphetamine (100 grams) to trigger a 4-year mandatory-minimum jail sentence and the amount of cocaine seized was over twice the amount of cocaine (112 grams) needed to trigger the same 4-year mandatory-minimum sentence. The quantity of drugs seized during this investigation represent one of the most significant seizures, to date, in the State of Maine.On Wednesday, November 1, 2023, Quirion received one of the most significant sentences ever handed down as part of a State of Maine drug case.

imprisonment of 30 years with all but 25 years suspended, followed by 4 years of probation. It was the contention of investigators and prosecutors that Quirion’s motivation to traffic these
drugs was purely financial. Quirion had no prior felony record in the State of Maine.
