From Maine-A top midcoast drug agent said Monday that a local Episcopal priest arrested for drug trafficking earlier this month mailed drugs to an inmate he was friendly with and more charges will be filed in the case.

He would not say whether those charges will be against the priest and inmates -- who are already charged -- or other people involved in getting prescription drugs transported.
"It could be all of the above," said James Pease, supervisor of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency office covering Waldo, Knox, Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties.
The new information provides a clearer picture of the case against the Rev. Stephen Foote, 70, of Bremen, who was arrested Nov. 1 and faces a class C charge of trafficking in prison contraband. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office alleges Foote trafficked suboxone strips at Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset.
