The Somerset County Sheriff’s Office last week executed a search warrant at a house in Fairfield, resulting in three arrests and the seizure of fentanyl, cocaine and cash.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the search warrant was obtained for the Ridge Road residence following a months-long investigation into alleged illegal drug sales by Seth Taylor, 34, of Fairfield.
During the search of the residence and individuals present on Thursday, July 3, authorities seized approximately 36 grams of fentanyl and cocaine, $2,008 in suspected illegal drug proceeds, and illegal drug-related documentation and paraphernalia.
Seth Taylor was arrested and charged with aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs and unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs. The aggravated charge stems from the quantity of fentanyl seized, the Sheriff’s Office said. Taylor’s bail was set at $10,000 cash.
Tori Pinkham, 31, of Bingham, was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs. Her bail was set at $1,000 cash.
Scott Lessard, 38, of Skowhegan, was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of scheduled drugs (class C). Lessard, who was on probation for unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs at the time of his arrest is being held without bail.
All three suspects are scheduled for initial court appearances on September 3, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in the Somerset County Unified Criminal Court.
The Somerset County Sheriff’s Office stated that additional charges may be filed following a review of the case by the Somerset County District Attorney’s Office.
