Deputies received information at around 3:30 p.m. that Casey D. Corbett, 37, of Carmel, who was subject to an active arrest warrant for alleged drug trafficking, was at his home on West Court.
Deputies responded to the residence and located and arrested Corbett. While executing the arrest warrant, deputies obtained a search warrant for the residence as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking.
Inside, law enforcement allegedly discovered 76 grams of fentanyl, 11 grams of methamphetamine, assorted unidentified pills, three handguns, and two rifles.
Deputies also found and arrested Misty L. Corbett, 37, of Carmel, and Corey B. Corbett, 46, of Carmel at the residence. All three were transported to the Penobscot County Jail.
Casey Corbett faces charges related to his existing warrants, as well as additional charges for aggravated trafficking in Schedule W drugs and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Misty Corbett was initially arrested on charges of obstructing government administration and refusing to submit to arrest. However, while at the jail, she allegedly attempted to swallow drugs she had on her person, leading to additional charges of falsifying physical evidence and trafficking in prison contraband.
Corey B. Corbett faces charges for a probation violation.
The investigation remains ongoing with help from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA).
