AUGUSTA — Six people were indicted on various charges that span October 2013 and March 7, 2014, as a result of an investigation by the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Waterville and Oakland area.

James Bell, 43, of Winslow; Tonya Dickinson, 26, of Oakfield; Eric J. Finnemore, 35, of Linneus; Christopher McEachern, 25, and Corey Stevens, 21, both of Oakland; and Katherine Tibbetts, 49, of Jay, were indicted on charges of unlawful trafficking in methamphetamine and conspiracy to commit unlawful trafficking in methamphetamine. In addition, McEachern was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine on March 7 in Oakland, and Stevens was charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine on March 7 in Waterville.

Finnemore is also charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine and unlawful possession of oxycodone on March 7 in Waterville.

Those indictments were among the 71 handed up Friday by a grand jury in Kennebec County Superior Court. Those indictments contained 210 charges against 56 individuals. All cases presented resulted in indictments, but some indictments were sealed until those charged are arrested.

An indictment is not a determination of guilt, but it indicates that there is enough evidence to proceed with formal charges and a trial.

Here is a listing of other people indicted in the May 2014 session of the grand jury:
