R.I. woman nabbed in Maine pot bust

NAPLES, Maine -- Three people, including a Rhode Island woman, are facing drug charges after sheriff's deputies in Maine found more than $200,000 worth of marijuana at a home.

The Cumberland County sheriff's office says it was contacted by Waterville police to help locate a man that was wanted on a domestic assault case.

When deputies went to a home on Monday, they discovered 32 pounds of high-grade, processed marijuana with an estimated value of $210,000. Police also seized $11,000 in cash, a car and an ATV.

Police charged Richard Hudson, 42, of Naples, Maine, and John Dana, 47, of Columbia, S.C., with aggravated drug trafficking. Vicki Leblanc, 40, of Kingston, Rhode Island, was charged with possession of methadone.
