The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA), in collaboration with the Winslow Police Department and Maine State Police, arrested two men on Tuesday, July 1, following a significant drug bust at a Winslow residence.

Brian Gleason, 38, of Winslow, and Milciades Diaz-Soto, 34, of Charlestown, Mass., face charges of aggravated drug trafficking (Class A).

Authorities had been investigating the sale of cocaine and fentanyl from Gleason’s residence for several months.

During a traffic stop, Gleason was arrested, and a subsequent search of his home on Tuesday uncovered 505 grams of cocaine with an estimated street value of $62,500, 7 grams of fentanyl valued at $1,400, over $2,000 in suspected drug proceeds, and a loaded .38 handgun.

Both men were transported to Kennebec County Jail, though bail details were not disclosed.
