WELLS — A  traffic stop in the northbound lanes of I-95 Tuesday night by Maine State Police resulted in the seizure of 58 grams of cocaine, 400 packages of fentanyl and the arrest of two Connecticut residents.

Taken into custody were Abijah Williams, 34, and Mayra Miro, 32, both of Bridgeport.

Maine State Police Trooper Matt Williams of Troop G stopped their vehicle for several unspecified traffic violations around 9 p.m. Tuesday, police said in a social media posting.

Troopers said the roadside investigation revealed that Williams, the driver, was allegedly violating a protective order by being with Miro, his passenger, and he was arrested.

 
 

Police said there were “criminal indicators” observed at the scene and officers called in Trooper Adam Schmidt of Troop A in Alfred along with his police dog Ibo.

A search was conducted and, police said, 56 grams of crack cocaine and 400 bags of fentanyl  prepackaged for sale were located in the vehicle.

Both Williams and Miro were charged with two counts of Class A aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs.

Bail for Miro was set at $25,000. Williams, police said, was not allowed bail as he was on parole in Connecticut  or a prior conviction.

Police said members of the Troop G evening and midnight shift as well as several members of the PACE or Proactive Criminal Enforcement Team, which is designed to intercept drugs coming into Maine, assisted in the investigation.
