Millinocket Man Arrested For Drugs After Month Long Investigation

According to the East Millinocket Police Department, the arrest was the result of an investigation that had been going on for over a month into a residence on Cedar St. in the neighboring town of Millinocket.

Authorities executed a search warrant on that address on Thursday and say they turned up evidence of both drug trafficking and drug use at the home. There were also a number of people involved with the situation located at the residence.

The Maine Wardens Service, The US Border Patrol, and the Millinocket Fire Department all played a role in Thursday's drug bust. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing and more arrests will likely be forthcoming in the near future.
