Father, son arrested on drug charges


LAGRANGE, Maine (WGAN)  The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency says a father and son are facing drug charges after being arrested in Waterville Monday.

The MDEA says 24-year-old Lloyd MacFarlane, Jr. and his father, 55-year-old Lloyd MacFarlane Sr. were both arrested as part of an ongoing investigation.

Agents say the pair were pulled over while heading south on I-95 in Waterville.  Police say 400 30-milligram Oxycodone tablets were seized from the truck.

Agents then searched the home the men share on Medford Road in Lagrange and seized more pills, eleven firearms and just under $30,000 in cash, likely the proceeds from drug sales.

Both men were charged with aggravated trafficking in schedule drugs and were taken to Kennebec County Jail.
