On March 1, Topsham officers responded to the area of West School House Crossing Road for reports of an unspecified “issue.”
During the investigation, officers met several people at a residence and became suspicious of drug activity inside the home.
Police requested assistance from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency (MDEA).
They investigated the property and allegedly seized 57 grams of cocaine base, seven grams of cocaine, $1,500 in suspected drug proceeds, and 14 firearms.
Weeks after the search, the investigation continued, and police arrested Peter Jellison-Bozeman, 45, of Topsham on Tuesday and charged him with aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, possession of firearms by a prohibited person, and criminal simulation.
