The Somerset Sheriff’s Department arrested three Skowhegan residents on March 1 after they were allegedly found with illegal drugs in a stolen vehicle.
At approximately 10:57 a.m., Deputy Conner Falardeau pulled over a silver 2025 Nissan Versa with Florida plates.
He recognized the vehicle from a state database of stolen cars, as one that had allegedly been reported stolen the previous night in Piscataquis County.
Falardeau found four people in the vehicle: the driver, Ryan Corson, 43, of Skowhegan, Hanna Gerrier, 34, of the Skowhegan area, Mike Medeiros, 41, of Skowhegan, and another female from the Skowhegan area, whom the sheriff’s department did not name.
It is not clear from the press release why the fourth person was not named, or whether she was a minor.
Falardreau detained all four of the vehicle’s occupants, and other Somerset deputies, along with Skowhegan police officers, responded to assist.
A search of the suspects revealed that Mederios was allegedly in possession of 5.8 grams of crack cocaine and an unprescribed suboxone strip.
Corson was allegedly found with drug paraphernalia, including needles.
While the incident allegedly took place on March 1, the sheriff’s department only announced the arrests on Monday.
Corson was arrested and charged with unauthorized use of property and operating a vehicle after habitual offender revocation. He was issued a $2,500 bail.
Gerrier was arrested on an outstanding warrant for an unspecified charge, and charged with unauthorized use of property and violation of conditions of release. She is being held without bail.
Meeiros was arrested and charged with unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs and unlawful possession of scheduled drugs. He was issued a $500 bail.
It is not clear what happened to the unnamed individual.
The allegedly stolen vehicle was towed from the scene, and the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department was notified that it had been found.
Mederios was previously arrested in 2024 on drug charges
