A 52-year-ol Cornish man faces drug trafficking charges after a months long investigation by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.

Agents say the investigation included the purchase of crack cocaine from a residence on Maine Street in Cornish.

Drug agents say a raid at the residence Thursday involving several police agencies turned up a substantial quantity of Cocaine hydrochloride, three guns and more than $1,700 in suspected drug proceeds.

The estimated street value the drugs seized is $5000.

Police arrested Adele Rogers at the residence, who is currently being held on $50,000 cash bail at York County Jail.

State drug agents say they were assisted by a Maine State Police Tactical Team, Maine State Police and the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in the raid of the residence.
