32 year old James Young-Dumont  is charged with: 

- Aggravated Trafficking in a Scheduled W Drugs (Fentanyl) Class A

- Warrant of Arrest, Failure to Appear in Court

- Violation of Bail 

Tuesday at about 4:30 pm, MDEA agents from the Mid-Coast District Task Force and Brunswick Police arrested Young-Dumont as he arrived from Haverhill, Massachusetts on the AMTRAK train to Brunswick. Young-Dumont had an outstanding arrest warrant for failing to appear in Ellsworth court for a Possession of Schedule Drugs charge. He was also free on bail for that charge.

Young-Dumont attempted to run from officers as he got off the train but was quickly taken into custody. Agents located 120 grams (1,200 doses) of Fentanyl in Young-Dumont’s pocket with a street value of $20,000. 

Young-Dumont was also on probation in Massachusetts for a previous drug charge and had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Massachusetts for Probation Violation. 

Agents had information that Young-Dumont frequently traveled to Haverhill on the train to purchase Heroin/Fentanyl in bulk then return to Maine where he would repackage the drugs for resale. 

Young-Dumont was transported to the Cumberland County Jail where no bail was set due to his bail violation.
