The Westbrook police seized marijuana, oxycodone and drug paraphernalia during a raid on Haskell Street on Oct. 13.
According to police, Nicholas Demers, 20, was arrested on Friday morning and charged with drug trafficking. Normally a class B felony, Demers was charged with trafficking within 1,000 feet of a drug-free zone-the baseball field across Main Street-which is a class A felony. Westbrook police have passed the case onto the Attorney General’s office.
Westbrook Police Chief Paul McCarthy said officers entered Apartment 3 at 9 Haskell St., which sits on the other side of Haskell Street in view of the Public Safety Building, with a search warrant on Friday morning. The officers found several ounces of marijuana, 1,300 milligrams of oxycodone, digital scales and drug paraphernalia, a number of double-edged knives and cell phones, and a large amount of cash, said McCarthy.
