From the Bangor Daily News:
Three people will face drug charges following a bust by state and local officers earlier this week.
Agents of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, working with the Ellsworth Police Department and the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, arrested Jake Demakis, 18, of Springvale, Michael Mitchell, 28, of Hancock and Ashley Ouellette, 19, of Casco late Tuesday night.
According to MDEA Division Commander Darrell Crandall, agents received information that the three suspects were in the area to sell crack cocaine, heroin and marijuana.
They used an informant to buy heroin and cocaine from the suspects and then stopped their vehicle on Route 1.
The bust netted 77 bags of heroin and 70 grams of marijuana from the vehicle. The drugs have a retail street value of $4,500, according to Crandall. Ellsworth Police Officer Shawn Willey and his police dog, Vegas, located the drugs hidden in a secret compartment in the trunk of the vehicle.
