Bangor Police Officers, Detectives, and the Special Response Team (SWAT), as well as members of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, and Homeland Security were involved in the execution of a search warrant on an RV parked at the site on Cleveland Avenue.

Both the Carvers were taken to the Penobscot County Jail.
