AUGUSTA (AP) — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says three people are facing charges related to sales of the hallucinogenic drug known as bath salts.
Agents raided the home of 42-year-old David Reckards of Thomaston on Tuesday and charged him with selling the synthetic drug.
Also arrested at the house were two others who were each charged with violating probation from previous drug-related convictions. They are 32-year-old Walter Brochu of Thomaston and 25- year-old Amanda French of Rockland.
Agents say they seized from Reckards’ house bath salts worth about $10,000 on the street, along with packaging material, scales, needles and drug paraphernalia. Reckards was convicted in March of possessing bath salts.
