MDEA charges four with cocaine dealing in Bangor

There is no 39 Coombs St., as the street has houses only on the even-numbered side.

The drug dealer's from down south have been frequenting Bangor much lately. I take it the Dominican crew wants complete control of the city. Has Baldacci worked out a deal with them? Mr. Barrett stepping down as the city manager, some council members looking for a new direction...oh yeah.

Hey dare mr acadian you sure got dem dare facts twisted.

Either way, everyone in the Bangor area needs to be proactive in stopping the drug issue that is becoming more and more present. Bangor PD and MDEA can't do their job if we don't help them with tips and facts. I am glad that they are cleaning up what they can. We all know there are plenty more out there who go unnoticed. BE PROACTIVE.

No odd numbers on that street? h-m-m well if you go down the block, around the corner, include the road, go up a dead end ally, jump a fence cross someones lawn could that possible be Coombs street back in 1829.?

Scintillate 6:38 AM~ That's like Hammond Street in Bangor. It goes up toward the Airport to Odlin Road then jumps back to Hammond Street again. While searching for a business one time, it nearly drove me crazy trying to find a street number when the actual street ended. I got directions from someone who knew the area well and explained how Hammond Street ends at Odlin Road, but if you take a left onto Odlin Road and then turn right onto Rt 2, it becomes Hammond again. Prior to getting that information, I spent at least a half hour trying to figure out if I had the wrong address and searching building by building for the place I wanted.

Getting back on the subject in the article... We seem to have an enormous amount of drugs coming from out of state and the drug problems in Maine appear to be higher than normal. (Probably due to the economy, but also could be due to the fact that the dugs being used are so addictive too.)

I've also recently heard that the Mexican cartels are penetrating much of the state, even Washington county. Hearsay has it that it was the Mexicans who were responsible for growing all that pot in the big bust last month. It gets harder and harder to get drugs across the border, so they get illegals to spread out throughout the US and start growing pot on public lands or large privately owned parcels of land that are owned by out of state corporations and have no idea that someone is using their land for pot harvesting.

ryanrrobbins there is a 39 Coombs St. in Bangor. It is across from the park by Ab Lincoln School.

pcme2000, there are houses on only one side of Coombs Street -- the even-numbered side of the street. What would be the odd-numbered side of the street is Chapin Park. There are no houses on that side. Also, I know some who lives in the building where the arrests happened. It wasn't 39 Coombs.

Amazed, the reason for the disconnect between Hammond Street an Outer Hammond Street is because Hammond Street used to go straight through what is now the runway at the airport. When the runway was extended to accommodate B-52s, Hammond Street had to be cut off.

why on earth is the number of the house more important than the fact that there is so much drug activity taking place in neighborhoods where there are schools? I don't get it!

Well, if the authorities can't get their basic facts straight or the news media can't their basic facts straight, what else are they getting wrong?

dont u just miss the days of vigilante justice, if i was in charge all i can say is "hey parents, these idiots are dealing drugs in your area, do what u wish with them, clean up the mess and bury em deep, because i never told u to do it, i never saw u do it, but im glad u did" HAVE FUN!

dittto

Maine families are headed toward a world of hurt. Cocaine abd oxycontin going for $100 a gram, but heroin is going for $5, until you're hooked. I don't see where we're really prepared. and for all the hype over the arrests we just keep making it easier for dealers to operate.

there could be a good reason they didnt give the correct address and really who gives a hoot??? it was in bangor near a school!!! more scumbags who arent smart enough to get real jobs! same ol same ol!!!

Northwoods_Maine,

Two people I know, who live in that neck of the woods, went for a look after it was all over. They said it was pretty impressive in scope. They also said the only stuff left behind was a big, cast iron frying pan, bags and bags (and bags) of tortillas and a shopping cart load of beans. The owner gated off the access roads this spring. A lot of hunters were disappointed
