Joseph
Dupaw, 68, of Dresden, were taken into custody at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday on the ferry to Vinalhaven by Maine Drug Enforcement Agency agents aided by Rockland police and the Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office. Knox County deputies and Wiscasset police also assisted the investigation.
James Pease, a supervisor for the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, said 200 pills were seized along with $1,550. The drugs have a $7,000 street value.

A judge set bail Wednesday at $100,000 cash for Dupaw.
“He fits the criteria of a career criminal as anyone I’ve ever seen,” District Attorney Geoffrey Rushlau said during a bail hearing Wednesday afternoon in Rockland District Court.
The Bangor Daily News reported Dupaw’s criminal record dates to 1965. Dupaw’s crimes include armed robbery in 1975 in Vermont, for which he was sentenced to five to 10 years, and bank robbery in 1977 in Vermont, for which he was sentenced to eight years in prison. Dupaw then moved to Maine upon his release and was convicted of robbery before being sentenced in federal court in 1998 to more than 14 years in prison for possession of a firearm by a felon.
He is out on bail from Lincoln County on charges of aggravated assault and aggravated criminal trespass.
Bail for Goupil was set at $10,000 cash or $50,000 surety.
