BUXTON, Maine — Buxton Police say a man has been arrested for drug trafficking. Police seized 24 grams of fentanyl and three guns during the arrest.

Police seized the drugs and guns, and arrested Homewood for aggravated trafficking in Schedule W drugs, falsifying physical evidence, and two counts of violation of conditions of release.
Bail was set on Homewood at $25,000 cash with conditions; he is currently at the York County Jail awaiting his initial court appearance.
