PORTLAND, Maine (WGAN)  An Auburn man has been arrested and charged in connection to a large marijuana bust.

U.S. Attorney Halsey Frank says 33-year-old Brian Bilodeau is charged with illegal possession of a firearm and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

The charges stem from the drug raid that happened Tuesday in Lewiston-Auburn.  Over 20 serach warrants were executed, leading to the seizure of 183 pounds of marijuana, butane hash oil and several guns.

Agents say they also seized a 2016 Lamborghini Huracan and a 2014 Nissan GT-R since they were bought with the proceeds of drug trafficking.

If convicted, Bilodeau faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine on the drug charges and between five years and life in prison and a $250 thousand fine on the firearms charges.

52-year-old Richard Daniels from Lewiston was charged in relation to the raid on Tuesday.
