For the past three weeks’ agents conducted an investigation into the distribution of crack in Knox and Lincoln Counties by two New York women. Shaundrea Fuller and Raquel Renfro were staying at local motels and residences in the two counties where they would sell crack cocaine to local users. Agents conducted several undercover purchases of crack cocaine from the two during the investigation.

Thursday night, drug agents from the Mid-Coast District Task Force, assisted by the Knox County Sheriff’s Office and State Police searched a home at 3270 Atlantic Highway in Warren, owned by Malburg.  The trio was arrested there without incident.

Seized from the residence was 50 grams of crack cocaine, 10 grams of cocaine HCL, $1000 in suspected drug proceeds along with other evidence of drug trafficking. The approximate street value of the seized drugs is $9,000.

All were transported to the Knox County Jail where bail was set at $50,000 cash for Fuller and Renfro. Malburg’s bail was set at $2,500 cash.

Also assisting in the investigation were the Rockport and Waldoboro Police Departments.
