BATH POLICE and Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s personnel respond last week to the CVS parking lot in Bath after receiving a call about a person “flicking a syringe,” according to Bath Police Lt. Robert Savary.
Four people were charged for drug possession after police were called to the Bath Shopping Center to investigate the report of someone seen with a syringe in the CVS parking lot last week.
The police received the complaint at 6 p.m. Thursday.
“We got a call that a female walked out of CVS (and got) into a van parked in the parking lot and was flicking a syringe,” said Bath Police Lt. Robert Savary. “The officer showed up and approached the vehicle, and could see them smoking a crack pipe inside.”
Police say they confiscated various contraband associated with drug use paraphernalia. Savary said a cocaine-based substance was found.
According to police, arrested and charged with the Class D crime of unlawful possession of a Schedule W drug were Lena Logan, 31, of Bath; James Lowry, 52, of Portland; and Jacques McQuillar, 54, of Portland. Logan was also charged with violation of conditions of release, a Class E misdemeanor. All three were taken to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
Logan Betts, 26, of Brunswick, was charged with unlawful possession of a Schedule W drug, a class C crime. She was released on personal recognizance, Savary said.
There would have been a threat to the public had a person under the influence driven the van away, Savary said, “and that was thwarted due to citizens’ calling, and police arriving before they left and discovering everything.”
