Plainville police have arrested two people in what the chief called one of the largest drug busts the department has made in years.
Police arrested 23-year-old Mikaila Williams and 29-year-old Arthur White on various drug charges Wednesday. Sgt. Shane Murphy said it was the result of an investigation into illegal activity in town, and that police are working to do whatever they can to prevent overdoses.
“This was real good work by our patrol division. They learned of illegal activity in our town, which we have no tolerance for. Some real good police work led to them getting the search and seizure warrant, which then led to the arrest today, a seizure of about 80 bags of heroin, 14 bags of crack cocaine, facsimile firearms and cash,” Murphy said.
White and Williams were arrested at the Advance Motel on New Britain Avenue.
White was charged with possession of fentanyl with intent to sell, possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell, illegal possession of fentanyl, illegal possession of crack cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana. He was held on a $25,000 bond and is due in court Thursday.
Williams faces the same charges. She was held on a $25,000 bond and is due in court on July 30.
