A New Hampshire man is facing drug charges after a traffic stop on I-95 in Maine.

A trooper stopped Pinkham’s vehicle on I-95 in Sherman on Tuesday. Police said Pinkham tried to dispose of suspected fentanyl during the stop. Authorities found methamphetamine and fentanyl inside the vehicle.

Pinkham faces several drug-related charges and is being held at Aroostook County Bail on $75,000 cash bail.
