A Limington man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for distributing methadone that resulted in a man’s death.

Alfred “Bim” McIntosh Jr., 45, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release by U.S. District Court Judge D. Brock Hornby.

Court records indicate that McIntosh broke into the home of a family member and stole methadone on June 1, 2012. Six days later, according to records, he distributed some of the stolen methadone to Drew Conners, who took some of it and died on June 8, 2012, from acute methadone toxicity.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration; the Buxton, Windham and Portland police departments, and the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
