The Maine Department of Public Safety says 52-year-old Adele Rogers was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after MDEA agents and the Maine State Police Tactical Team searched a property at 355 Main Street in Cornish and found a multitude of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Authorities say they've had their eye on the area, suspecting that a drug trafficking organization had set up in the small York County town.
During their several-month investigation, evidence was collected and surveillance completed enough for a judge to issue law enforcement agents a warrant.
"The search resulted in the seizure of 49.5ggw Cocaine HCL, diverted Hydrocodone pills, $1760.00 in suspected drug proceeds and three firearms. Rogers was taken into custody without incident at the residence...The estimated street value of the drugs seized is $5000."
We're told Rogers is facing four counts of aggravated drug trafficking and is being held at the York County Jail on $50,000 cash bail.
