BANGOR, Maine — A man from Brockton, Mass., who was arrested in October after police said he accidentally dropped a bag of cocaine on the floor of Diamonds Gentleman’s Club was indicted Wednesday by the Penobscot County grand jury.
Lakeem S. McFadden, 29, was in the Harlow Street nightclub at about 10:30 p.m. Oct. 12 when an employee saw him drop the drugs, Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards said at the time of his arrest. The bag allegedly contained 9.2 grams of rock cocaine, and McFadden was charged with felony aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs.
He was indicted by the grand jury on the aggravated drug trafficking charge and on a charge of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs.
“McFadden was walking to the restroom when he dropped the bag with white substance on the floor,” Edwards said. “An employee walking right behind him noticed this and took the bag to the office. Management deemed it looked suspicious and called police.”
Shortly after dropping the bag, McFadden noticed his mistake.
“He was missing it, and he was actually wondering where it was and started questioning staff,” Edwards said. “He didn’t know they had called the police.”
He was taken to the Penobscot County Jail after his arrest and has remained behind bars since then, a jail official said Wednesday.
If convicted, McFadden could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. He was one of 67 people indicted Wednesday by the grand jury.

Richard Carr who gave his son the gun that resulted in the death of a young man. Somehow i am not surprised
Thought that name sounded familiar. Sounds like a wonderful family who is contributing to the Bangor community.
What up with the homeboys from the North side of Brockton and Bangor? First the dude arrested for the car fire deaths, now Mcfadden.
“Lucky” Lakeem out of , wait for it, BROCKTON , wasn’t so lucky dropping his bag of crack at the gentlemans club.
If he didn’t have such droopy drawers , it might
not have happened.
……. Real problem for Ol “Lucky”…..
The bag had 17 grams of product but the cops only reported
an alleged 9.2 grams.
What about the $$bankroll he carried?
Benjamins.
Shrinkage ?? You tell me.
“Lucky” got some splainin’ to do.
Who Dat ?
Sidenote : There are some McFaddens in Lubec.
Any relation ?
ask them if Battles street rings any bells
30 years * 40k per year = 1,200,000 dollars of tax payers money. Hope he is worth it.
C’mon now, dude ain’t even sort of going to get all that time and may end up in the county jail. Depends on who took all his money…
10 years * 35000 = 350,000 dollars. Lower time and price. Is it going to work, will he not do coke? Will he learn a lesson? Will he be a better neighbor? I do not think so. I think that money is set on fire. Fuel for an ever growing prison system that is collapsing.
Joe, this isn’t about ‘reforming’ anybody — showing the errors of their ways and making good citizens. The Rehabilitation Era went out with the 70’s. At a real basic level, this is all about crowd control. The Prison Industrial Complex is one of the few growth industries left in the US.
Sort of goes like this. Sell off 16 million or so blue collar jobs and the companies that provided them to China, Korea, Singapore. Loot the retirement accounts and mortgages, too. Might as well cut way back on basic education because there are no jobs for those kids… Make sure there’s plenty of booze and drugs to numb up the public, confuse the dog shiat out of everybody with Mainstream Media — wholly owned by corporations, btw — telling a different story on each channel. Anybody acts up, bingo, off to jail.
About 1/3 of the people behind bars belong there — violent types, sex fiends, major robbers — and the rest are mainly collateral damage from a broken society. And the wheels on the bus go round and round and round…
*tips hat* Couldn’t have said it better, but I already did my wall of text today :D No that was not a dig at you. Here is mine from earlier. I am also listening to music and working on some digital art. I have too much going on sometimes.

Sound good, Joe. Better too much going on that too little, brother…
Crazy as that sounds, I totally agree with you. Scary times right now and most people have no idea.
67 people indicted by the grand jury and here’s the Black Guy! Why’s that?
Well, he did drop a bag of cocaine large enough to put him away for 30 years and then ask around a nightclub if anyone had seen his large bag of cocaine.
While it does seem fishy, I think this guy was featured more because of his jaw dropping level of stupid rather than his skin color. He earned first place.
And besides, if I’m going to got to prison for 30 years for something, I would at least like my picture in the paper. It’s sort of a prison-society debutante coming out kind of thing.
I think you’re on to something there… How about before and after pics in the paper? =) “Joe LeBlanc was twenty when he got 30 years for dealing coke and shooting somebody, he’s 48 now…”
Good possibility. Just tossed that out to see what folks thought.
Yeah, but I think the amazing part of the story is that a strip club called the cops. Most strip clubs would be like, “Yo, homie, you should go blaze this up in the champagne room with Precious and Mercedes!”
Blaze up powdered cocaine and let me know how that works out for you
Been watching that Biggie and Tupak special, eh? =)
Probably best he give up any ideas on high IQ awards or a scholarship to Harvard. Maybe get his GED in jail, tho.
Because he has the coolest name? :-)
I weep for the future
Who cares about the USA’s future. The country has because a bunch of drug loving, booze loving,whoring, dumbed down, 24/7 partiers.
It wont be long before the day comes, China,Russia, and several other upcoming countries combine and give the USA an ultimatum to surrender or get its arse kicked in. Have another joint or can of booze if you think the shining star US military that has only fought 3rd countries with 3rd world armies since WW2, will be able to defend this country against a super power country’s military
Take a look, Who cares about the future of the trash people and trash communities like this: Do they look worth weeping for. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXgeqmjv_hU
What happened to you? I forgive you, but I am not sure if others will. You have fantasies about this? War? Death? Judgment? Cruelty with a smile? You are more broken than the people you complain about.
Old and nutz, is all.
yea, and they want to legalize pot, and some places they have, getting worse all the time
Maurice Bedard again! What it this, arrest #12 or thereabouts? You’d think it would get old, but I guess not.
Aayah, another Masshole ruining the state.
Dropped his bag? Hmmm… he should have kept it in his pants…
