AUGUSTA — Numerous people were indicted on drug trafficking charges by a Kennebec County grand jury, including five people arrested the same day in two drug busts that Waterville police described as busts of “source-level” dealers.

Shahied R. Golden, 24, of Manhattan, New York; Darrel J. Lawrence, 29, of Bronx, New York; Devon L. Ayotte, 28, of Lyman; Eric J. Spaulding, 43, of Waterville; and Jesse L. Donovan, 45, of Waterville, were all arrested March 7 in two separate busts by Waterville Police.

Police investigating alleged drug dealing at a Francis Street residence March 7 arrested the homeowner, Spaulding, as well as Golden and Lawrence. Upon searching the residence, police found 114.6 grams of fentanyl, 268.3 grams of powdered cocaine and 99.8 grams of crack cocaine, with a combined street value of $50,000, according to Waterville Police Chief Joseph Massey.

Earlier that same day, Waterville police arrived on Cool Street to search a property and saw Donovan, the owner of the residence, leaving in a vehicle. He was stopped and arrested after police allegedly found 4.6 grams of cocaine on him. Police searched the home and seized 13.3 grams of fentanyl, 7.2 grams of powdered cocaine and 13.5 grams of crack cocaine worth $5,000, according to Massey, and also found $4,800 in cash.

Ayotte, as well as Stephanie Pelletier, 26, who was not among those listed as indicted by a Kennebec County grand jury last week, were in an upstairs bedroom of Donovan’s home and were arrested as well.

Golden and Lawrence were each indicted on three counts of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs and one count of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, oxycodone, March 7 in Waterville.

Ayotte was indicted on two counts of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, one count of aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs and one count of unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, oxycodone, all March 7 in Waterville.

Spaulding was indicted on three counts of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs, also out of the March 7 bust.

Donovan was indicted on two counts of aggravated trafficking in scheduled drugs — one count allegedly occurring between Feb. 10 and Feb. 16 and the other between Feb. 24 and March 2, both in Waterville — and one count of unlawful trafficking of scheduled drug, March 7 in Waterville.

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