Three people were charged with aggravated drug trafficking after an undercover drug bust in Bangor.

The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says 48-year-old Joseph Rusaw and 37-year-old Meaghan Sulinski, both from Holden, arrived to deliver drugs to agents making an undercover purchase at a hotel on Thursday.

Agents arrested the two and seized fentanyl, methamphetamine and crack before their investigation led them to a second hotel in Bangor, where 20-year-old Geiser Baez of the Dominican Republican was also arrested.

Agents seized more drugs from the second hotel room, with an estimated street value of over $40,000.
