FARMINGTON – Three were arrested Thursday evening, after police executing a search warrant say they found a substance they believe to be crack cocaine and other drug paraphernalia at a Sandy River Terrace residence.
According to information provided by Farmington Police Department Deputy Chief Shane Cote, Detective Jacob Richards was provided with information on April 6 and began an investigation into drug trafficking in Farmington. As part of that investigation, FPD searched a residence at Sandy River Terrace belonging to Rebecca Haines, 40 of Farmington.
Police say they found an unspecified amount of a substance suspected to be crack cocaine as well as scales, plastic bags and other drug paraphernalia.
Three individuals were arrested by Richards. Haines was arrested and charged with unlawful trafficking in schedule drugs, a Class B felony. She was transported to Franklin County Detention Center, where she was held on $10,000 cash bail pending an initial appearance.
Joseph Nielsen, 20 of New Gloucester, was similarly charged with unlawful trafficking, while Derek Martin, 26 of Farmington, was charged with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs. Both men were arrested, taken to the Farmington police station and released on unsecured bail.
Cote noted Friday that the investigation remains open and ongoing.
If they apply to the state, there’s probably a grant under the Mills Admin. to help them out with this.
… as long as they don’t slip through the crack.
Forget the brain/fried egg analogy, this is your hair on drugs….
Good job.
What does drug trafficking arrests have to do with the Mills administration ?
Great job FPD, now if the DAs office can do their job?
Robert,
I think it was implied that the Govenor would find a way to suppliment the traffickers income with tax dollars to help these unfortunate folks that way they could double dip in the future with both drug dollars and tax dollars, similar to the way the feds provided unemployment booster funds and stimulous funds to people not working
Well if that was the implication, it was a stupid one. Comparing State action to Federal action makes as much sense as comparing drug dealers with people who lost their job due to a global pandemic. Oh wait – you did that, too. Try to “suppliment” your points with some data or logic.
what a life!!!!!!
