BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - A Penobscot County man could face life in prison after pleading guilty to drug and gun charges in federal court in Bangor Tuesday.

He was arrested by Orono Police in February 2021 with large amounts of methamphetamine and fentanyl and a loaded gun.
Catalano faces a minimum of 10 years in prison.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
