Maine Investigators Find Package From China With 6.5 Pounds of Bath Salts

On February 6, MDEA agents working with USPS employees and Homeland Security officers uncovered a package shipped from China containing 6.5 pounds of bath salts. The package was addressed to Leonard Wells, from Greenbush, ME.

Last month, Wells posted a $50,000 cash bail following his arrest for aggravated trafficking in synthetic hallucinogenic drugs. Wells’ three co-defendants, Arthur Coy, Elizabeth Fuentes and Stephen Warren remain incarcerated at the Penobscot County Jail.

MDEA agents have evaluated the street value of the seizure to be $450,000. No one has been charged yet in connection with this seizure, but arrests are anticipated.
