The Sheriff’s Department secured a search warrant for the Gagnon Rd. residence based on suspicion that it was being used to sell and distribute illegal drugs.
A large team of law enforcement agents led by Detective Lieutenant Gottardi, including five Sheriff’s Department detectives, five deputies, and assistance from the Waterville and Fairfield Police Departments, conducted the raid at 5:45 a.m. and discovered seven individuals on the premises, along with significant contraband.
Law enforcement seized over 53 grams of fentanyl — enough to kill thousands of people, an unspecified small amount of methamphetamine, “controlled pills,” digital scales, drug packaging materials, drug-related documentation and paraphernalia, and $7,725 in suspected drug money.
They also arrested and charged six of the seven individuals on the premises and warned that additional charges could follow for those arrested and other individuals, possibly the uncharged individual, though he remained unnamed. The Sheriff’s department did not specify why he was not charged.
The arrested individuals include:
- Adam Knight, 53, of Fairfield: Charged with Aggravated Trafficking in Scheduled Drugs (Class A) with a $50,000 cash bail.
- Tina Boutin, 44, of Fairfield: Charged with Aggravated Trafficking in Scheduled Drugs (Class A) with a $50,000 cash bail.
- Dwayne Holmes, 58, of Waterville: Charged With Aggravated Trafficking in Scheduled Drugs (Class A) with a $5,000 cash bail. He was also charged on an outstanding arrest warrant from Kennebec County for Failure to Appear on the charge of Unlawful Possession of Scheduled Drugs.
- Crystal Cougle, 32, of St. Albans: Arrested on five outstanding arrest warrants from Kennebec and Penobscot Counties for Failure to Appear on charges of Aggravated Trafficking in Scheduled Drugs, Unlawful Trafficking in Scheduled Drugs, Violation of Conditions of Release, Theft, and Unpaid Fine(s).
- Thomas Brooks, 36, of Skowhegan: Arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant from Kennebec County for Failure to Appear on the charge of Unlawful Possession of Scheduled Drugs.

Nice work!
Funny, they don’t look black or Chinese.
“ Failure to Appear “
How many times have we heard that !
HERE is your solution .
Put these low life’s in a cell .
When it’s time for them to “ appear “ , take them in chains from their cells directly to the court room.
Sentence them there right then to no less than a year or more in State Prison . No bail . No appeal.
Justice Made Simple …..Justice for Dummies .
Great job. Now it is up to the courts to clean it up
I just started 3 weeks ago this web income system that my friend recommended to me and I’ve gotten 2 checks for a total of $9,200… this is the best decision I made in a long time! This extra b5446 cash has changed my life in so many ways, thank you!

” 53 grams of fentanyl — enough to kill thousands of people” Then why isn’t it. Looks like the COVID jab is still racking bigger numbers.
Perhaps it would be better said, fentanyl is frying people’s brain. Although that is an obvious observation on my part.
When are you going to report on the source of the fentanyl and the NH Drug Cartel? Mike Gill has been investigating and taking action against them for 19 years. The NH Cartel owns the states of VT, ME and NH. the governors and legislators, the rehab centers and law enforcement, and judiciary. Reporting on the losers at the end of line is never going to bring and end to the White Collar Criminal Laundering operation. If you are ignorant of Mike gill, you can find find him presently on rumble . MikeGill44. Ghislaine hid out in NH for a very specific reason, and they sacrificed her to cover the trail to Bedford. The Lottery, Casinos and Liquor stores are all laundering billions each year, and it is an International service of $935trillion a year that includes human and sex trafficking.
nice looking bunch Janet.
Well I’d say ,feed their drugs to them till they die!!!! That will slow down the fing drug dealers !
