Lewiston Man Pleads Guilty to Drug Trafficking after Selling Drugs to Confidential Source

by Seamus Othot | May 12, 2026

A Lewiston man pleaded guilty on Friday to drug trafficking charges after he sold drugs to a confidential source.

In February 2025, a confidential source working with the FBI made multiple purchases of controlled drugs from Dashane Seamster, 30, of Lewiston.

On April 1, the source made another purchase of four ounces of methamphetamine and 120 grams of heroin from Seamster in Lewiston.

FBI investigators surveilled and recorded the transaction and arrested Seamseter.

Following his guilty plea, Seamster faces a mandatory minimum term of 10 years in prison, along with a maximum $10 million fine and up to a lifetime of supervised release.

Seamster was previously arrested in 2018 in Lewiston on charges of failing to submit to arrest and criminal trespass.
