Two People Arrested for Aggravated Drug Trafficking in Deer Isle

The Maine Drug Enforcement agency arrested and charged a 42-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman on Wednesday for aggravated drug trafficking in Deer Isle, Maine.

Two People Arrested for Aggravated Drug Trafficking

A joint investigation with the MDEA’s Down East Task Force, the Maine Warden Service, and the Maine Marine Patrol began in the early part of November. A case against Dexter Bray involving night hunting led officials to find him in possession of three firearms, approximately 10 grams of fentanyl and over $3000 in cash.

Fentanyl, Cocaine and Firearms Seized

Based on that information and a further investigation, authorities obtained a search warrant for Bray’s home on GOA Way in Deer Isle on November 30, 2022. Approximately 23 grams of fentanyl, 6 grams of crack cocaine, over $16,000 in suspected drug proceeds, along with 46 firearms was seized from the residence.
