MONMOUTH (AP) — Three Maine men are facing drug trafficking charges in connection with a methamphetamine operation in Monmouth.
The three were arrested Wednesday night.
Maine State Police say 27- year-old Robert Dumont Jr. and 33-year-old James Renaud, both of Monmouth, and 42-year-old Brandon Proctor of Oxford face charges of making methamphetamine.
