PARIS — Four men arrested in January in connection with a cocaine trafficking investigation have been indicted by an Oxford County grand jury.
Daniel R. Allen, 53, of Swett Street in Mexico faces three Class A charges of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, each punishable by up to 30 years in jail and a $50,000 fine. Darren K. Joudrey, 51, of Roxbury Road in Mexico faces two charges of unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs, Class B, each punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a $20,000 fine.
Dana Lee Richardson, 54, of Ledgeview Street in Mexico faces three Class A charges of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs. Wayne G. Sinclair, 53, also of Ledgeview Road faces two Class B trafficking in scheduled drugs charges.
In January, Maine Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said undercover drug agents bought cocaine from the men 10 times over the course of a year.
Police from several agencies were involved in the arrests and searches of the men’s homes. Police seized drugs, cash scales, packing material and phones, McCausland said. Undercover drug purchases took place at several homes and businesses in Rumford and Mexico, McCausland said.
