MADISON, Maine – Two residents were taken into custody on outstanding warrants Friday morning after Somerset County Sheriff’s Department deputies executed a search warrant at an Ingalls Street home, resulting in the seizure of suspected narcotics. The operation, conducted at approximately 6:25 a.m., was the culmination of a lengthy investigation into alleged drug trafficking activities at the residence.
According to the Somerset County Sheriff’s Department, the Criminal Division obtained the warrant to search the property occupied by Lucas Gage, 36, and Sabrina Madoree, 33. Investigators reported discovering over 48 grams of suspected fentanyl during the search. Authorities also noted the recovery of digital scales, drug paraphernalia, and documentation consistent with drug trafficking operations.
While the search was initiated as part of a narcotics investigation, the immediate arrests were based on pre-existing legal matters. Deputies determined that Gage was wanted on two outstanding arrest warrants from Brunswick for unrelated criminal charges. Madoree was found to be the subject of an outstanding warrant from Somerset County, also for an unrelated criminal charge.
Both individuals were taken into custody at the scene. Law enforcement officials stated that Gage was issued a $500 bail for each charge, totaling $1,000, while Madoree was issued a $300 bail. Records indicate that Gage was previously arrested in May 2025 on drug trafficking charges following an incident where he allegedly attempted to flee from police.
Sheriff’s officials indicated that additional criminal charges related to the items seized during the raid are pending. The department is awaiting laboratory testing results for the suspected fentanyl and a case review by the Somerset County District Attorney’s Office before formally filing new drug-related charges.
Procedural Next Steps
This case underscores the multi-stage process often required in narcotics investigations. While the execution of a search warrant allows for the immediate seizure of illicit materials, the formal filing of trafficking charges frequently depends on forensic verification. The existence of outstanding warrants provided law enforcement with immediate grounds for detention, ensuring the suspects remained in custody while the evidentiary phase regarding the suspected fentanyl proceeds through the state crime laboratory and the District Attorney’s review.
It is important to note that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
