    Knox County Sheriff’s deputies, Maine Drug Enforcement agents, as well as Thomaston and Waldoboro police officers, arrested three men at a Friendship house in the early morning hours, Feb. 13, where a party was underway.

    Law enforcement officers visited the house on Back River Road while acting on information of a potential bail violation, according to a news release from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office.

    “Upon arriving at the residence, deputies found approximately 25 people ranging in age from 17 to 30 years old,” the release said. “Several people were attempting to hide themselves and various contraband items. Several people were being uncooperative with law enforcement and provided false names and dates of birth, making the situation more difficult to control. As deputies gained control, they were able to identify those in attendance and make the situation safe.”

    Reginald Perreault, 30, of Warren, was arrested for unlawful trafficking in scheduled drugs.

    Kevin Weeks, 29, of Friendship, was arrested for a violation of conditional release and a probation violation.

    Matthew Christ, 23, of Bristol, was arrested for a probation violation.

    Weeks was later summoned for providing a place for minors to consume liquor and providing liquor to minors. The incident is still under investigation and additional charges may result, the release said.
