AUGUSTA — A man arrested on North Street in Augusta late last year was indicted Friday on a number of aggravated drug trafficking charges.

Alex L. Brumfield, 29, most recently of Windsor and Augusta, was charged with aggravated trafficking in cocaine base and two counts of aggravated trafficking in heroin that occurred in Augusta between Sept. 26 and Nov. 9, 2016.

He also faced one count of unlawful possession of heroin Nov. 9, 2016, and is charged with criminal forfeiture of $2,196 in cash and a handgun seized Nov. 9, 2016, from a North Street apartment.

Brumfield, formerly of Rochester, New York, has remained in the Kennebec County jail since then in lieu of $20,000 cash bail and a Maine Pretrial Services contract. Brumfield is represented by attorney Matthew Bowe.

The indictment says the aggravated drug trafficking charges occurred in a safe zone near a school or park.

Complaints filed at the Capital Judicial Center allege that Brumfield was dealing drugs from a Washington Street apartment, where a confidential informant with a recording device purchased cocaine and heroin from him in September 2016. They also say Brumfield sold heroin from a North Street apartment Nov 3, 2016.

The case was investigated by Augusta Police and Kennebec Sheriff’s Office deputies.

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

Two men from Miami, Florida, Zane L. Moore, 27, and Robert J. Germroth Jr., 29, were indicted on charges of aggravated criminal mischief and criminal trespass. According to the indictment, the two damaged or destroyed railway boxcars Sept. 20, 2016, in Benton that belonged to Pan Am Railways.
