Drug agents bust trio involved in high speed chase

12/22 According to agents from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, drugs were involved in a high speed chase through Portland on Wednesday afternoon.

After leading police on a chase along I-295, Derrick Decenso, 32 of Portland, was taken into custody.

The passenger, 42-year-old Richard Maynard, of Portland, fled the scene, but was found Thursday and charged with aggravated trafficking in heroin and two outstanding warrants. Agents said they seized 10 grams of heroin from the car — a street value of $1,800 — and suspect Maynard may have thrown more out the car window while speeding along the highway.

Maynard’s girlfriend, 31-year-old Tara Bucknell, of Portland, was charged with hindering apprehension. They were reportedly found at an Old Orchard Beach motel and were taken into custody about 1 p.m. on Thursday.

Police report Bucknell was not involved in Wednesday’s high speed chase, but likely picked up Maynard after he fled the scene.

All three are being held at the Cumberland County Jail.
