For the second time in two days, State Police have arrested a group of New Yorkers on the Maine Turnpike on drug selling charges. The arrests took place last night and are in connection with an investigation of drugs sales out of a home at 33 Main St. in West Paris.
Wednesday evening, troopers stopped a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica van on the turnpike in York. At the same time, a team of Troopers, Deputies from Oxford Sheriff’s Department and officers from Norway and Rumford police, searched the West Paris home. Seized in the van were 382 grams of cocaine and crack. Items seized from the house were other items related to drug selling. The four arrested on the turnpike were taken to the York County Jail and all are charged with aggravated drug trafficking. Investigators say the group has been active importing and selling drugs from Oxford Hills to the Rumford area and also in southern Franklin County in recent months.
Arrested are - Yashim “Scotty” Gomez, 35, Raymond “T” Vasquez, 26, Geraldine “GiGi” Rodriguez, 31, and Princes Munoz-Cordero 19, all from Bronx New York. Bail was set at $20,000 for Gomez and $10,000 for the other three. On Tuesday troopers arrested two NY men and a Bangor woman after their vehicle was stopped on the turnpike in Kennebunk. Seized were cocaine and heroin, headed for Bangor.
