A traffic stop Wednesday afternoon in Topsham led to the arrest of a an illegal alien on felony drug trafficking charges and the seizure of over 100 grams of fentanyl and crack cocaine, the Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, at about 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, deputies conducted a traffic stop in Topsham near the intersection of Main Street and Old Augusta Road.
While the initial cause for the traffic stop was the driver allegedly using a handheld device, deputies became suspicious when the male driver “claimed not to understand English but responded to every request by the deputy,” the Sheriff’s Office said.

A K-9 team then responded to the scene and conducted a drug sniff on the vehicle, which authorities say indicated the presence of drugs.
Deputies searched the vehicle and found a stash of illegal drugs concealed in the dashboard near the steering column, as well as a digital scale and glassine baggies in the trunk of the vehicle.
The Sheriff’s Office said the seized drugs totaled to 107.7 grams of fentanyl and 17.6 grams of cocaine base (crack cocaine).
The driver, 27-year-old Michael Colon-Guerrero, was arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking in schedule W drugs (Class A), and unlawful trafficking in schedule W drugs (Class B).
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers just two milligrams of fentanyl a potentially lethal dose, meaning Colon-Guerrero allegedly possessed enough of the synthetic opioid to kill about 50,000 people.
Colon-Guerrero was transported to Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset where his bail was set at $5,000.
A supervisor at Two Bridges Regional Jail told the Maine Wire on Friday that Colon-Guerrero has an active U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immigration detainer lodged against him.
ICE files immigration detainers against unlawfully present noncitizens who have been arrested on criminal charges, and whom the agency has probable cause to believe are deportable from the U.S.
Detainers are a request from ICE to local law enforcement agencies that they temporarily hold the illegal aliens in custody and notify ICE upon their release, so that the aliens can be transferred to the custody of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Nice job to mills and the raging liberals in Augusta. You’re all rotten kumquats.
Outstanding New Mainer. Bravo Mills, keep them coming.
please Tom come to our town
One of Mills’ “workers”?
He had enough dope to kill fifty thousand people and he only has to post a bail of five thousand dollars .
What’s wrong with THAT picture ?
I hope you all saw the data post by the attorney prosecuting The ILLEGAL Allian who the democrats by their support of Joe Biden, Pingree, King, Jaraad and our Governor let into our country. The attorney, on a chart for all to read, showed the last time the murdered womans heart beat as recorded by her med. watch as the ILLEGAL smashed her on the side of the head with a rock. I really hope that King, Pingree Jarid, and Janit saw it all. I can not get it out of my mind. You let him to kill that young woman!!!
More cultural enrichment by Mills, RTR, Dhalac and company. Undoubtedly, the scumbags at the ACLU-ME will come to his defense.
Here is an appropriate approach to this: Shoot, shovel, and shut up. These are non-people, as far as I am concerned, here only to harm. They are essentially an invading force of foreign nationals–an army of unflagged terrorist actors (welcomed by the Biden/Harris administration, which is guilty of treason in its deliberate sabotage of our national security, no less, but that’s another issue entirely)–so if they end up in holes in the ground, no one will care… nor should they.
Democrat proponents of this are blatantly committing treason. Period. They are sabotaging our national security and endangering all of us. They need to be arrested, charged, tried, found guilty, and executed. Every last supporter of this invasion of our country by foreign nationals must face capital punishment during war time.
Pump him full of the frigging drugs he was pedaling. 😁 problem solved .
“Every state is a border state.” And we are all “welcoming ‘New Americans,'” even if there are no signs strung across Main Street by local officials.
Like water follows the path of least resistance, trouble and crime do the same. And we have shown NO RESISTANCE! And even worse, encouragement!
Enviros worry about sea levels changing by a half inch in a decade. Our streets will be “flooded” with toxic waters all year round, long before that happens.
Get a clue. You get the trouble you invite and encourage.
This is not complex social theory; it is the same logic as raising children.
Hey Mills, where the drugs money are going? I’m sick and tired of paying for your f… schools full of f…g illegals!!!
