BANGOR (AP) – A Canadian trucker has been sentenced to 37 months in prison for smuggling 108 pounds of marijuana in a hidden compartment beneath a load of wood chips that was delivered to a plant in Ashland.

Fifty-year-old Clement Allard of Kedgwick, New Brunswick, pleaded guilty in November to marijuana trafficking charges and was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Bangor.

According to court documents, Allard and two other men were apprehended in March 2007 during an attempt to transfer the marijuana, which was destined for a customer in Massachusetts.
