PORTLAND, Maine: A Topsham man was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Portland for failing to surrender for service of a sentence imposed in a prior case.
Chief U.S. District Judge Lance E. Walker sentenced Christopher Tucker , 34, to 37 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Tucker pleaded guilty on February 17, 2026.
According to court records, at a September 2025 hearing in U.S. District Court in Maine, Tucker was sentenced to a term of 75 months in prison for firearms offenses. Tucker was permitted to remain out on release and to self-surrender to the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at a later date but he failed to surrender as ordered. The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) subsequently located and arrested Tucker in Bath.
Tucker’s sentence will be served consecutively to the 75-month sentence imposed in the firearms case.
The USMS investigated the case.
