PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Following up on a tip, local police stopped a pickup truck traveling through town Monday morning and charged a New Brunswick man with trafficking in marijuana and hashish.
Dozer, the department’s drug-sniffing dog, indicated that there were drugs in the Canadian man’s 2005 GMC pickup truck after it was stopped at about 8:40 a.m., Cpl. Wayne Selfridge said in a press release issued Tuesday.
Police found in the vehicle 5.2 pounds of marijuana and half a pound of hashish, with a street value of $5,400, Selfridge reported.
The name of the 27-year-old Canadian driver was not released because the investigation is ongoing, Presque Isle Police Chief Matt Irwin said Tuesday.
“It was a tip that he would be carrying the dope and coming through town” that led to the traffic stop on north Main Street, Irwin said.
The Canadian man was charged with two counts of felony unlawful trafficking in marijuana and hashish, Selfridge said. Along with the drugs, $375 in cash was seized and the pickup truck was impounded.
Detectives have been able to determine that the drugs were “just kind of passing through” and that the buyers do not live in Maine, Irwin said.
The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement are working with Presque Isle police on the case, the police chief said.

LOL well said.
Dear Mr. Canadian Drug Trafficker. We all know that Canadian dogs and American dogs are totally different. Here’s the deal with American dogs, especially Dozer, the one that just busted you- Some dogs have 100 times the ability to smell that humans do. Dogs have 40 times more scent processing cells in their brains than every Canadian. Dogs, at least American ones, have a chamber in their nose that collects air where it can be identified by the dog. Dogs remember smells-especially cats and Canadian drug dealers. American drug sniffing dogs never get impounded-Canadian drug carrying pickups often get impounded.
Okay, why did my comment about the license plate light out pull-over get pulled? Nothing offensive about that, just common knowledge around these parts. So much for freedom of speech.
Did you see it actually showing and then get deleted? The words I’ve seen automatically block my posts weren’t obscene or profane but it’s hard to predict what might be in their “dirty word list”. Restrictions on your freedom of speech here begin with a computer program.
been there had that happen by the PIPD while bringing the wife to the hospital for breathing problems which the officer followed us in and her into the exam room.
Anybody seen Ricky and Julian and Bubbles? Last I knew they had a pot train coming into Maine. Right through the woods! Maybe the Samsquamch got ’em…
No no no…..Roxanne’s out of the country.
Is that a cell phone in the left side of the photo? If so, I would hate to be in his contact list.
Umm… I think that would be the “half-pound of hashish”.
I think the hashish is in front of the pot on the left row. Notice the metallic looking wrapper on that one. Right behind it is a small amount of pot and there’s a full pound in back. I think they usually bag the evidence with whatever packaging they find it in. If that item on the left is a half pound of unwrapped black hash you wouldn’t need a dog to smell it.
that was just the patsy

“It was a tip that he would be carrying the dope and coming through town” that led to the traffic stop on north Main Street, Irwin said. A nation full of secret Gestapos. What about probable cause. So anyone can say “they are coming through town with drugs” and your going to get stopped. Don’t make any one mad. They may just be a gestapo. We have a much bigger problem than Marijuana. How about big Pharmacy pills that seem to be so very addictive and many problems occur from people abusing them.
how very very very very sad the cops got this load looks pretty good wish i had some nothing better than a big fat joint with some hashin it before bedtime
