LINCOLN – The arrest of a Danforth woman by Lincoln police last week led Maine Drug Enforcement Agency officers to her home Tuesday, where they discovered prescription narcotics, 46 marijuana plants and a rifle.

Valerie Morse, 38, of Danforth was pulled over on the Lee Road in Lincoln for erratic driving at 12:28 a.m. June 19, according to Sgt. James Slauenwhite of the Lincoln Police Department. A search of her vehicle resulted in the seizure of 80 oxycodone, 62 OxyContin, 30 methadone, 21 Ritalin, four Tylenol with codeine and 72 other unidentified white pills, Slauenwhite said.

Morse also was found marijuana and drug paraphernalia, he said.

Police seized $5,000 in cash from Morse and her passenger David Cobb, 56, of Danforth, he said. Cobb was summoned for possession of a usable amount of marijuana, he said.

Cobb, who lives with Morse, was at home in Danforth three days later when Washington County sheriff deputies and game wardens raided his home on Route 169. Police seized 46 growing marijuana plants, a pound of marijuana, 153 dosage units of prescription narcotics and a rifle, according to Darrell Crandall, DEA task force supervisor.

The Danforth raid was the first DEA search in northern Washington County this year, Crandall said.

“Any [search warrant] in that area would be significant,” he said.

A felon convicted for drug trafficking in 1985, Cobb was charged with aggravated trafficking in marijuana, aggravated cultivation of marijuana and prohibited possession of a firearm, all felony charges.

He also was charged with illegal possession of moose parts, according to Crandall.

Morse wasn’t arrested in connection with the DEA raid, but Lincoln police charged her with four counts of possession of a scheduled drug and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, Slauenwhite said.

Morse is free on $1,500 bail and will appear on Aug. 17 in 13th District Court in Lincoln, Slauenwhite said.

Cobb also is free on bail and is scheduled to appear on Aug. 3 in 4th District Court in Calais.

In his four years with the Lincoln Police Department, Slauenwhite said he has never found so many illegal prescription drugs in one person’s possession.

Nonetheless, abuse of the powerful painkiller OxyContin and its generic version, oxycodone – is present in Lincoln, he said.

“I’ve never gotten this amount,” Slauenwhite said. “[OxyContin] is here just like it is everywhere else. We don’t have a major problem with it yet.”
