LIVERMORE FALLS — Two local women and three New York men were arrested on drug charges Thursday during a police tactical operation on Monroe Street.

Maine Drug Enforcement Agency officials said the arrests were made after tips led to an investigation that spanned several months, according to a news release from the agency.

Arrested were Tanya Hill, 38, of Livermore Falls, on a charge of trafficking in scheduled drugs. Another local woman, 46-year-old Tammie Stone, was arrested on four active warrants as a result of the investigation.

Agents also arrested three men from New York City.

Taijuan Washington, 18, was charged with trafficking in scheduled drugs; Tyquan Commsisso, 27, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and Mesiah Jones, 21, was charged with aggravated drug trafficking.

On Thursday, police said, a warrant search was conducted at 8 Monroe St. in Livermore Falls. A vehicle connected to this residence was stopped, investigators said, and agents located 102 grams of suspected cocaine inside.

As part of that stop, Hill and Washington were arrested and taken to the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn, where bail was set at $10,000 cash for each.

About 3:45 p.m. Thursday, MDEA agents and members of the Maine State Police Tactical Team executed the search warrant on the residence, police said.

A search of the apartment resulted in the seizure of 64 grams of cocaine, 143 grams of crack and a handgun, investigators said. The estimated street value of drugs seized is $12,000.

Messiah Jones was being held on cash $10,000 at the county jail while Commsisso was held on $15,000 cash bail. Bail was not immediately set for Stone.

It was not immediately clear what the warrants charged in the arrest of Stone.

Drug officials said more arrests are likely as the investigation continues.

Deputies from both Androscoggin and Franklin County sheriff’s departments assisted in the operation as did officers from Livermore Falls and Jay police.
