AUGUSTA — Two men and a woman arrested in a drug raid last April in Farmingdale where Kennebec County sheriff’s deputies reported finding 116 grams of uncut heroin and 57 oxycodone pills pleaded guilty to trafficking charges this week in Kennebec County Superior Court.

Randy Figueroa, 38, of New York City, was sentenced to seven years in jail, with all but three years’ suspended, and three years’ probation.

He pleaded guilty to two counts each of trafficking in scheduled drugs and possession of scheduled drugs. He also agreed to forfeit $2,989. Figueroa was fined $1,600 and ordered to pay $280 restitution.

Nicholas F. Presby, 31, of Whitefield, was sentenced to five years in jail, with all but nine months suspended, three years’ probation, $400 fine, $140 restitution.

Assistant District Attorney Joelle Pratt said Figueroa arrived at a bus station and was picked up by Christina L. Sanborn, 42, whose Hill Street residence in Farmingdale was the site of the raid.

Deputy Josh Hardy wrote in an affidavit filed with the court that Figueroa dropped a small bag and ran when the deputy confronted him outside the apartment.

Hardy said Figueroa’s pockets contained a large amount of cash and small plastic bags of heroin.

Authorities seized a total of 114 grams of heroin from Figueroa and another 2 grams were seized from Christina Sanborn’s bedroom. Sanborn and Presby each claimed the heroin belonged to the other, Hardy wrote.

Sanborn pleaded guilty Tuesday to unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs and was sentenced to four years in prison with all but five months suspended and two years’ probation.

She was also fined $400 and ordered to pay up to $140 toward restitution for the state’s drug testing costs.

Assistant District Attorney Joelle Pratt told Justice Michaela Murphy that Sanborn had admitted selling oxycodone obtained from Figueroa. Sanborn had no prior criminal record. Conditions of probation ban Sanborn from contact with Figueroa.

Sanborn’s attorney, Pamela Ames, said Sanborn has done well while out on bail under a Maine Pretrial Services contract and in her participation in drug court. “She has been a role model for other individuals,” Ames said.
