LEWISTON — Local, state and federal police arrested a local woman Tuesday after a weeklong investigation into suspected drug trafficking at one of the units at the Pleasant View Acres apartment complex on Fairmount Street, according to a Maine Drug Enforcement Administration press release.
Rayven Satele, 21, was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated trafficking in Schedule W drugs.
Satele was booked at Androscoggin County Jail, where she remained on a $10,000 cash bail.
Maine DEA undercover agents purchased methamphetamine from Satele before obtaining a search warrant for the apartment, according to the release.
Officers from the Lewiston Police Department and FBI Safe Streets Task Force assisted in the search, which yielded over 370 grams of methamphetamine, 189 grams of crack cocaine, 186 grams of fentanyl and a press used to form kilogram bricks of narcotics, the release stated.
Agents estimated the street value of the drugs at more than $75,000.
