FARMINGTON — A Franklin County grand jury indicted five people in two cases Thursday on charges of importation of heroin and ecstasy.

Chelsea-Rose Daggett, 19, Scott Baldwin, 45, and Gregory Schiche, 31, all of Farmington, were each indicted on one count of possession of schedule W drugs (heroin) and one count illegal importation of schedule W drugs (heroin). Daggett, the driver of the vehicle stopped by police, was also indicted on a count of criminal forfeiture.

The three were arrested Feb. 11 in Wilton after their vehicle was stopped following a police investigation that led authorities to believe the vehicle was returning from Connecticut with drugs, Maine Drug Enforcement Agency supervisor Gerry Baril said in February.

Police stopped the vehicle on Main Street in East Wilton. Maine State Police troopers and Franklin County Sheriff’s deputies served a warrant to search the vehicle and discovered 45 unopened bags of heroin and five empty ones, Baril had said.

Each unopened bag contained one-tenth of a gram of heroin, Baril said.

In a different case, Merlin Corey, 23, and Michelle Arsenault, 25, both of Farmington, were indicted each on one charge each of trafficking in schedule W drug (ecstasy), illegal importation of schedule W drug (ecstasy), and marijuana cultivation.

They were two of six people Maine Drug Enforcement agents arrested on Feb. 24 after agents stopped the two vehicles they were traveling in as they turned into a 111 Thomas McClellen Road home in Farmington, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said in February.

Agents and police started investigating reports that residents of 111 Thomas McClellen Road were involved in the sale of ecstasy, McCausland said then.

Both Arsenault and Corey are listed as living at that residence in the report of the grand jury.

Agents and police found 95 ecstasy tablets, about 100 doses of LSD and a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the two vehicles, McCausland had said. During a search of the home police also found 10 more ecstasy tablets, a bag of suspected hallucinogenic mushrooms, some packaged marijuana and 146 live marijuana plants in the attic in various stages of growth, he said.

Co-defendants in the case arrested in February on charges of illegal importation and trafficking of drugs were Jeremy Whitney, 24, of Farmington, Robert Rivard, 25, of Peru, Angel Vasquez, 24, of Pawtucket, R.I., and Kyle Haskell, 24, Marshfield, Mass.

They were not listed Thursday in the grand jury report.
