HAMPDEN, Maine — A local man and woman were arrested on multiple drug charges early Saturday morning after Hampden police executed a search warrant at their Old County Road home, a Hampden police official said Tuesday.
Arrested were Raymond Smith, 56, and Jeanne Turner, 53, both of Hampden, according to Sgt. Chris Bailey said.
Both are charged with trafficking in heroin, possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia, Bailey said. The trafficking charge is a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $20,000.
Smith and Turner remained at Penobscot County Jail Tuesday night, where Smith is being held on $25,000 cash bail and Turner on bail set at $10,000 cash, Bailey said.
