MONMOUTH, Maine — Three men are behind bars Thursday after drug enforcement agents raided a meth lab, according to police.
Arrested were James Renaud, 33, and Robert Dumont, 28, both of Monmouth and Brandon Proctor, 42, of Oxford, according to Darrell Crandall of the MDEA.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said earlier Wednesday MDEA authorities were tipped off to the criminal activity Thursday afternoon on the Cressey Road property.
Drug agents were on the scene much of Thursday afternoon, collecting numerous evidence despite the humid weather conditions, Randall said. Two MDEA agents and a Monmouth firefighter were treated at the scene after overheating while wearing their heavy, protective gear.
All three suspects are facing a charge of trafficking in methamphetamine, a Class B felony, Crandall said. They were transported to the Kennebec County Jail.
Thursday’s incident marks the 10th time Maine authorities have dealt with a meth lab this year, McCausland said.
Great job MDEA!
Long a problem in rural America, meth labs have finally arrived in Maine. After a few batches of meth, the house becomes uninhabitable from the toxins left behind.
If the labs are here the usage rates are going to climb. That meth is some bad stuff. We are lucky to have been spared this long.

Meth labs have finally arrived in Maine? Get real, Rex, they’ve been here for a while now!
Not like down south where meth is out of control. You should get real because what rex said is very true maine is lucky to be spared this long. They bust 1oo’s of meth lab every month in in plant city florida. 10 this year in maine wow get real
Yet, Florida’s population is how much larger and denser than ours?
Surprisingly, it doesn’t look as bad from the outside compared to most…nice try trying to cover it up.
A meth lab? in a trailer? Shut the front door!
Perhaps they should just chuck a match in. Tear gas? Booom. Problems solved.
Ha, orange suit clowns look like they are having a picnic. complete with chairs and awning. Meth its whats for dinner.
