NEWRY – A man with Maine, Massachusetts and Montana ties is being sought for questioning by Maine State Police in a Newry pot case.

Investigating Trooper Jason Wing is seeking help from the public to find Greg DeSatnick, 26, who has family in Marblehead, Mass., and may be attending college in Missoula, Mont.

DeSatnick is wanted for questioning after police armed with a search warrant found drug paraphernalia, a small amount of cocaine and 40 pot plants in a “very well established (marijuana) grow room” in the Maine vacation home of his parents, Allen DeSatnick and his late wife, Brenda DeSatnick.

Wing said that on Feb. 28, a trustee from the DeSatnick family estate came up to look at the property, discovered the pot and contacted state police.

Wing said a search warrant was obtained from a judge and Maine Assistant Attorney General David Fisher, who were both at the nearby Sunday River Ski Resort at the time.

Then, with assistance from the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office, Wing, Trooper Adam Fillebrown and Maine Drug Enforcement Agency Agent Tony Milligan searched the residence.

Wing said police seized 2 pounds of marijuana plants that were nearly ready to harvest.

The cocaine is being analyzed at the Maine State Police Crime Lab in Augusta.

Allen DeSatnick, who has been hospitalized in Massachusetts, was unaware of the pot, Wing said.

The trooper said he is working with drug agents in Missoula and Marblehead police, who are also looking for Greg DeSatnick.

Wing referred to him as a person of interest in the Newry pot case.

“I’m looking to talk to him, but he won’t return my phone calls. Maybe someone knows where he is and will call me,” Wing said.

Wing said anyone with information on Greg DeSatnick’s whereabouts can call him via the State Police barracks in Gray at 800-228-0857.
