BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - A Massachusetts man pled guilty to a federal drug charge after authorities say he brought fentanyl to Bangor.

Edgar Arias, 41, was arrested in September of 2025 after authorities said they found a bag of fentanyl in his car.

Officials say investigators arranged an undercover drug purchase with Arias, who drove from Massachusetts with the drugs.

Arias faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

He will be sentenced at a later date.
