Ryan Moores

A 37-year-old Massachusetts woman is facing drug trafficking charges after she was arrested on the Maine Turnpike while allegedly carrying crack cocaine and suboxone strips.

A car driven by Ryan Moores of Athol, Massachusetts, was stopped around 10 p.m. Saturday on the turnpike in York by Trooper John Darcy, a member of Troop G and the ProActive Criminal Enforcement Team. A roadside search of the car turned up 19 suboxone strips and 32 grams of crack cocaine, Maine State Police said Tuesday.

Moores was charged with aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, a Class A felony. Bail was set at $10,000 and she has since been released from York County Jail in Alfred.
