Grand Jury
CARIBOU — The Aroostook County grand jury returned 70 indictments against 70 different persons during its November 2010 session. As is also apparent a vast number of indictments result from the significant activity of Maine Drug Enforcement Agency. Not only have 25 cases directly resulted from MDEA operations, but a great number of remaining charges have drug causes or effects.
“While all of Law Enforcement’s efforts to limit the drug trade and its attendant human fallout may seem like little more than trying to hold back a waterfall with one hand, abandoning the fight would invite far more crime from ‘away,’ “said District Attorney Neale Adams.
Among those indicted were:
Ryan J. Dyer, 36, Linneus: unlawful trafficking of scheduled drugs and possession of scheduled drugs.
Sara A. Donahue, 35, Houlton: furnishing of scheduled drugs, trafficking of scheduled drugs, and violation of condition of release.
Michael A. Casey, 19, Oakfield: unlawful possession of scheduled drugs (two counts).
Gerald T. Riopel, 49, Medford, N.Y.: unlawful possession of scheduled drugs (two counts).
Paul E. Folsom, III, 40, Houlton: trafficking of scheduled drugs (two counts).
