PORTLAND — A Bronx, N.Y., man is being held on $100,000 bail after his arrest on drug and weapons charges by Maine Drug Enforcement Agency agents in South Portland on Saturday.
Maine Public Safety Department spokesman Steve McCausland said Wayman Sparrow, 22, was charged with aggravated trafficking in Schedule W drugs, specifically heroin; unlawful possession of Schedule W drugs, specifically cocaine; and carrying a concealed weapon.
Sparrow was allegedly carrying a loaded handgun, “small amount of cocaine,” scales and items for packaging and distributing drugs when arrested, McCausland said.
