Arundel woman indicted on drug trafficking charge
ARUNDEL, Maine – A grand jury in Cumberland County has indicted an Arundel woman on drug-related charges, including a Class A count of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs.
The Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday announced Amanda R. Merrifield, 35, also has been indicted on three counts of unlawfully possessing scheduled drugs – all Class C allegations – and one count of violating conditions of her release, a Class E offense.
The drugs referred to in the charges include more than 200 milligrams of a methamphetamine as well as fentanyl powder.
An indictment is not a determination of guilt and instead is the result of a grand jury determining that enough information exists to warrant a trial.
