A 21-year-old Bangor woman is facing multiple felony drug trafficking charges after a two-month Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA) led to the seizure of large amounts of illegal drugs, cash, and firearms from a residence, the agency said Wednesday.

According to the MDEA, an investigation was recently opened by the agency’s North Central Task Force into suspected drug trafficking occurring at 166 Larkin St. in Bangor.

During their investigation, MDEA agents conducted controlled purchases of fentanyl and cocaine base from 21-year-old Jade Willette of Bangor, the agency said.

A controlled purchase, or controlled buy, is when a cooperating witness or undercover law enforcement officer purchases illegal items or a controlled substance from a criminal suspect.

On Tuesday evening, MDEA agents, alongside the Bangor Police Department’s Special Response Team, executed a search warrant at the Larkin Street home.

As a result of the search, the MDEA says they seized approximately 40 grams of cocaine base (crack), 40 grams of suspected fentanyl, three firearms, and over $1,300 in cash in suspected drug proceeds.

According to the MDEA, the estimated street value of the drugs seized is $10,000.

Willette was arrested and taken to the Penobscot County Jail, and is charged with three counts of Class A Aggravated Trafficking of Scheduled W Drugs.

The charges were aggravated, the agency explained, due to the Larkin Street residence being within 1,000 ft of the Vine Street School, a Bangor elementary school.

MDEA said Wednesday that more arrests are expected.

Assisting in the arrests and search warrant were officers from the Bangor Police Department, agents with U.S. DEA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

    Gosh her mama must be SO PROUD right about now. Sales of Fentanyl should be prosecuted as attempted homicide.

  2. patriot on March 21, 2024 8:39 AM

    why do I have a feeling that there is someone else involved here… maybe ? Do you think she’s taking the fall for someone else? She doesn’t look like the typical kid on drugs. My heart goes out to these young ones.

    Notice the Antifa symbol on the gun stock.
    Selling fentanyl is basically murder because it will inevitably lead to someone’s death.
    This is why drug dealers need to be sentenced to death.

    All the fentanyl sellers here on rocky ledge rd in eddington position younger people with no priors to be scapegoats in case of a bust.

    How about we see a solid month of arrests of the fifty and sixty yr olds who finance the buying of narcotics at massachusetts prices? Without them around, kids like this would either get a career or join the service.

    Drugs are biked and backpacked right in front of PD in bangor, especially during outdoor concerts and festivals.

    Yeah, whateva, Bitchez I’m already out. They brought in someone to sit in there for me. Only cost me two omegas, which is a total joke since my uncle has a suitcase full it’s real cool because whatever room you put the suitcase in it makes it sound like it’s raining in that room. Remember if you go and purchase a quality timepiece be sure you know what Swiss movement looks like because those Chinese knock-offs will fool you on every other aspect I’m telling you

  15. Jade Chronos on July 28, 2024 8:13 AM

    Fool from eastport wantin’ to buy rolex mariners so she could open a watch shop as a front to sell carfentanyl out of. I said why not open a bugatti dealership too and she had to like think real hard for a few minutes before she answered that it wouldn’t be believable because most people in eastport would buy a boat to move stuff by the coast because there’s way less chance of getting caught and all you have to do.is get thirteen miles out and you can tell the coast guard to fuck off if they wanna search the boat. She also thought chinese people knew how to build motorized rice pickers but not wrist watches. Hahaha, she’ll be coming back to buy back with more cash for the neon light rolex and omega signs I ordered from Amazon
