A Wilton man was arrested Tuesday after he got off a train in Brunswick with 1,200 doses of fentanyl, according to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency. James Young-Dumont, 32, is charged with aggravated trafficking, violation of bail and failure to appear in court. MDEA said Young-Dumont tried to run from officers when he got off the train, but was quickly arrested. Agents said they found the fentanyl in his pocket. It has a street value of $20,000, officials said. Young-Dumont was also on probation in Massachusetts for a previous drug charge and had an outstanding arrest warrant out of Massachusetts for probation violation. Agents said they received information that Young-Dumont frequently traveled to Haverhill on the train to purchase heroin and fentanyl in bulk, then returned to Maine, where he repackaged the drugs for resale. Young-Dumont is being held in the Cumberland County Jail.
