ATKINSON – Two local people were summoned Tuesday for alleged trafficking in scheduled drugs.

Arnold Bubier, 41, and Danielle Merritt, 19, are expected to make their initial court appearances on the charges on Jan. 10 in 13th District Court.

The charges came after the Piscataquis County Sheriff’s Department executed a search warrant about noon at Bubier’s Maple Road home, according to Investigator Guy Dow.

Dow said police found more than a pound of processed marijuana, drug paraphernalia, unlabeled prescription pills and drug residue inside Bubier’s house.

The case is under investigation and further charges may be filed, Dow said.
