Police charged David Bizier, 48, of Bowdoinham Road in Sabattus on Friday, said Chief Anthony Ward.

In addition to hundreds of marijuana plants, police also seized $3,000 and a vehicle.

Ward said the two-week investigation was made possible by the department's new detective sergeant, a position approved by voters in June to help the department's investigative efforts. The department has seven full-time officers including the command staff.
