Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

State of Maine v. John D. Schlosser

August 19, 20252025 ME 76

Summary

The court affirmed Schlosser's convictions and sentence. It held that the officer had reasonable suspicion to stop Schlosser for trespassing and to search him for drugs, that the trial court acted within its discretion in admitting the MDEA commander's expert testimony despite the absence of an expert report, and that any error in denying a lesser-included-offense instruction was harmless. The court also upheld consideration of Schlosser's phone activity as an aggravating sentencing factor because it reflected his personal role in the trafficking operation and did not constitute impermissible double counting.
