Brooklyn Man Avoids Jail for Maine Marijuana Grow | Portland Maine News
Description
A Brooklyn man, Xisen Guo, 68, avoided jail time after admitting to running a massive illegal marijuana grow operation in Passadumkeag, Maine — turning a rented home into a high-stakes cannabis farm that netted 40 pounds of processed weed and racked up thousands in electricity bills, all without a legal license. Guo, who only spoke Chinese and had to be remotely translated, was sentenced to time served plus a year of supervised release after pleading guilty in January 2025. The operation, which he took over in 2020 and ran until 2024, was funded through an LLC he formed in 2019 and cost him over $100K in property and utility expenses.
