MDEA Thwarts Hancock County Drug Trafficking Operation

MDEA agents, working closely with the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office, conducted a stop of a vehicle driven by 45-year-old Jeffrey Witham of Verona Island, Maine.

Also in the vehicle was 36-year-old Veronica Gomm of Verona Island. At the time of the stop, Witham had court-ordered search and testing conditions imposed by the court stemming from pending criminal offenses.

Following the stop, agents and Hancock County Deputies conducted a search and seized methamphetamine, cocaine HCL, fentanyl and crack cocaine, along with several thousand dollars in suspected drug proceeds.

Both Witham and Gomm were taken into custody.

Immediately after the vehicle stop, agents obtained a search warrant for Witham’s residence. Upon entry into the house, agents located 24-year-old Therion Harmon of Deer Isle, who was in possession of approximately 20 grams of methamphetamine. Agents located additional methamphetamine, along with suspected fentanyl and $20,000 in suspected drug proceeds.

All will have an initial appearance on these charges today, March 10.
