Corinth drug bust
CORINTH – Two men were arrested recently on drug charges in the town of Corinth.
On Dec. 5, agents with the North Central Task Force, assisted by the Maine State Police and Penobscot County Sherriff’s office, arrested 46-year-old Shawn Bowman of Corinth and 30-year-old Angel Lugo of Bethlehem, CT and executed a search warrant at Bowman’s home on Ledge Hill Road in Corinth.
Several weeks ago, MDEA agents opened an investigation into reports of heroin and crack cocaine sales from Bowman’s home in Corinth. That investigation included agents purchasing drugs directly from Bowman on at least two occasions.
On Dec. 5, MDEA agents, troopers and deputy sheriffs raided Bowman’s home with a warrant and seized over twenty-eight grams of crack cocaine, four grams of heroin, a loaded 12-gauge shotgun, a loaded Glock 9mm pistol and $8,000 which is believed to be proceeds from the sale of drugs.
Bowman is charged with two counts of unlawful trafficking in crack cocaine, one count of aggravated trafficking in crack cocaine and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (felon). Lugo is charged with aggravated trafficking in crack cocaine.
This investigation is continuing and more arrests are possible.
