Steven Braggs. Androscoggin County Jail photo
LEWISTON — The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency and Lewiston police arrested a local man Tuesday on drug trafficking charges, according to an MDEA statement.
Steven Braggs, 36, was arrested Tuesday during a probation compliance check when officers found 100 grams of cocaine in his possession.
Braggs was charged with aggravated trafficking in Schedule W drugs and transported to Androscoggin County Jail. He is being held on no bail due to a probation hold.
The probation compliance check on Braggs stemmed from a September 2015 federal sentence in Massachusetts for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was on a supervised release.
Following Braggs’ arrest at a Lewiston hotel, MDEA agents executed a search warrant at his 114 Wellman St. residence.
Agents discovered nearly two kilos of cocaine, trafficking materials and over $25,000 in suspected proceeds.
The street value of the cocaine is estimated at $100,000.
