LEWISTON — A local youth worker accused of drug trafficking earlier in the week was freed on bail after making an initial court appearance Wednesday.

Samantha Ogwudiegwu, 21, of Lewiston, was not required to enter a plea to multiple counts of aggravated drug trafficking when she appeared in Lewiston District Court.

Bail was set at $30,000. A short time later, Ogwudiegwu was released from the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn.

Ogwudiegwu was arrested Tuesday night after police and drug agents searched her home at 2 Granite St. At the time of the search, according to court documents, police had warrants based on Ogwudiegwu’s sale of 42 grams of fentanyl to an undercover agent two weeks earlier.

According to a court affidavit, during the search of Ogwudiegwu’s home, they recovered 167 grams of cocaine and nearly 8 grams of fentanyl along with 1,100 oxycodone pills, 60 Xanax pills, 30 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, two Glock pistols and an AR-15-style firearm.

All of the firearms were loaded, police said, with rounds chambered.

Police said that in the room of Ogwudiegwu’s home where the narcotics were found, they also found a sales ledger and paperwork belonging to a 20-year-old man who was not present during the search.

According to the affidavit, Ogwudiegwu told police she is often paid to allow men she doesn’t know to stay at her apartment.

Just before the search of her home, police found Ogwudiegwu at Tree Street Youth on Howe Street where she is a manager with an after-school program for elementary school-age kids.

Investigators wrote in the affidavit that Ogwudiegwu was cooperative with drug agents and that no drugs were found on her at her place of employment.
