Using the numerous complaints from neighbors, authorities were able to arrest and charge two Bangor people for trafficking fentanyl. There was 1.5 pounds of fentanyl seized from this investigation.

53-Year-old Craig Pelkey and 37-year-old Sarah Denbow of Bangor were both charged with Class "A" aggravated trafficking of schedule W drugs. MDEA agents from the North Central task forced based in Bangor, executed a warrant in the early hours of Wednesday, June 16. The agents had obtained sufficient information the evening of June 15th, for the search warrant to be issued. The Bangor Police Department played a significant role in the investigation.

Here is some evidence and some of the story

If the name Sarah Denbow looks familiar to you that's because she was out on bail for an aggravated drug trafficking arrest from 2020. The arrest for the most recent charge was a violation of her conditions of release. Denbow was still out on bail because there has not yet been a ruling in the case from her previous arrest.
