AUGUSTA — The third of a trio of defendants accused of manufacturing methamphetamine in Monmouth pleaded guilty Wednesday in Kennebec County Superior Court to unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs.

Robert F. Dumont Jr., 28, of Monmouth, was sentenced to three years in jail with all but 15 days suspended and two years’ probation.

The other two men, Brandon A. Proctor and James W. Renaud, had pleaded guilty previously in the same court.

Proctor, 43, of Oxford, was sentenced in December to four years in jail with all but 15 days suspended and two years’ probation and fined $400.

Renaud, 34, Dumont’s brother, was sentenced in August to four years in jail with all but 41 days suspended and two years’ probation. He, too, was fined $400.

Renaud’s Monmouth home was raided last June after a Maine Drug Enforcement officer saw him purchasing pseudoephedrine — a key methamphetamine ingredient — and later “burping” or releasing pressure in a bottle in which police say methamphetamine was being made.
