Four Mainers were arrested after drug agents seized fentanyl and crack from an apartment in Waterville.

Police searched the residence on Kennedy Memorial Drive last Wednesday, finding 11 grams of fentanyl, 22 grams of crack cocaine and a handgun.

As a result of the search, 40-year-old Bradford Webb, 35-year-old Katie Danforth, and 32-year-old Steven Silcox, all from Waterville, were taken into custody and charged with drug trafficking.

46-year-old Nicholas Hunter, who’s a transient, was in the apartment at the time and taken into custody after he was found to have three warrants for his arrest.
