State drug agents discovered on Friday a large suspected methamphetamine lab in a mobile home at 249 Fayette Road in Livermore Falls.

A team of agents from the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency spent several hours on Saturday securing the home and seizing the drug and ingredients used to make it, according to a statement from Maine State Police spokesman Steve McCausland.

Authorities arrested a man and two women and said more arrests were likely.

Agents said the group is suspected of having manufactured the drug and distributed throughout Livermore Falls and Jay for “some time,” McCausland wrote.

Authorities late Friday arrested and charged with operating a meth lab John Josey, 44, and his girlfriend, Christina Stanford. They also arrested and charged Brittany Pomerleau, 29, of 14 Adams Road in Jay in connection with the lab.

After arresting the three suspects late Friday, agents dismantled the lab, McCausland wrote.

Josey and Stanford were held at the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn; Pomerleau at Franklin County Jail. Bail was set for each of the three at $10,000 cash.

Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services was notified of a teenager who lived at the mobile home in Livermore Falls, but wasn’t at the home when drug agents arrived.

This is the MDEA’s 13th response this year to a report of meth lab, McCausland wrote.
