A New York man and a Veazie woman were arrested at a Bangor motel for allegedly selling oxycodone pills, according to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.

Found Thursday in a room at the Comfort Inn on Bangor Mall Boulevard were 260 30-milligram oxycodone pills and about $40,000 in cash, the MDEA said. Arrested were Steve “Swift” Abreau, 25, of the Bronx, New York, and Meredith Perrone, 32, of Veazie. Both are charged with Class B trafficking in scheduled drugs.

Perrone’s bail was set at $25,000. Abreau’s bail was set at $70,000. Both were expected to appear Friday in Bangor Unified Court.

The arrests followed reports of suspected drug activity after witnesses saw many people coming and going from the hotel room. Police conducted an undercover buy before the arrests.
