MAINE Maine State Troopers have been cracking down on drivers not using their seat belts. A team of troopers recently cited 13 drivers with seat belt violations after spotting them while on patrol along Interstate 295 between Scarborough and Falmouth.

 In Hampden, troopers spend two and a half hours on an Interstate 95 overpass looking for violators below. When unbuckled drivers were spotted, the troopers radioed others along the road to pull over the violators. In all, 35 vehicles were stopped in Hampden and 17 drivers were cited. In addition to the summonses, a number of other motorists received warnings, either for seat belt or other violations. 

Another seizure made in continuing 'bath salts' investigation

On February 6, 2013, MDEA Agents working with US Postal Inspectors and Agents with Homeland Security Investigations executed a search warrant on a parcel at the US Postal Service sorting facility in Hampden, ME. The package was shipped from China to Leonard Wells, in Greenbush, ME. Inside the parcel, Agents found more than 6.5 pounds of a white powder suspected to be a synthetic cathinone, also known as 'bath salts.' MDEA Agents took the substance to the Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory for testing and it was determined to be alpha-PVP.

On January 18, 2013, Wells posted a $50,000 cash bail following his arrest for Aggravated Trafficking in Synthetic Hallucinogenic Drugs. (A full release from MDEA and Penobscot SO was provided following that arrest.) Wells' three co-defendants, Arthur Coy, Elizabeth Fuentes and Stephen Warren remain incarcerated at the Penobscot County Jail. The street value of this seizure is $450,000. No one has been charged yet in connection with this seizure, but arrests are anticipated.
