BUXTON, Maine (WGAN) A Buxton teenager was charged with drug trafficking after agents seized crack cocaine and guns from a home.

Drug agents and officers arrested 18-year-old Kelly-Klaus Sahabo following a traffic stop on Wednesday.

Agents obtained a search warrant at his home on Bradbury Lane and seized roughly 76 grams of crack cocaine, more than $3,000 in suspected drug proceeds, and two firearms, one of which had been reported stolen.

Sahabo was taken into custody without incident and brought to York County Jail, with bail set at $500. He faces two counts of drug trafficking.

The arrest followed several months of undercover drug purchases as part of an investigation into the distribution of crack cocaine in York and Cumberland counties.

More charges are expected.
