WINTHROP (AP) — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says it has charged four people from Maine and Connecticut with dealing heroin throughout Kennebec County.
Authorities say 28-year-old Michelle St. Laurent, of Winthrop, is charged with aggravated heroin trafficking due to the amount of heroin seized, which was 76 grams. She is being held without bail.
Twenty-year-old Tyrone Lindsay, of Waterbury, Connecticut, is also charged with aggravated drug trafficking. Bail was set at $20,000.
Police say 30- year- old Daniel Ackerly and 59-yearold Frederick Werner, both of Winthrop, are charged with heroin trafficking. They were arrested Thursday. St. Laurent and Lindsay were arrested Friday, after a search of St. Laurent’s home turned up the heroin and $2,400 police say they suspect was from heroin sales.
It was not immediately known if they have lawyers.
