Milford Woman Arrested for Drug Trafficking 2nd Time This Month

A Milford Woman who was arrested earlier this month with drugs is arrested again, along with two male companions, on drugs and firearms charges.

The Suspects Were Taken Into Custody After a Traffic Stop

Three people face charges after a traffic stop on May 25th by the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office. Tara Culpovich, 49, of Milford, Paul Dolhancryk, 40, of Enfield, and Robert Moreau were all taken into custody.

Officials Seized Crack Cocaine and Firearms During a Search of the Vehicle

A Deputy with the Penobscot County Sheriff's Office learned that Culpovich was in a vehicle with Moreau who, according to her bail conditions, she was not supposed to have direct or indirect contact with after a search warrant was executed at 32 Pine Street in Milford earlier this month. When the vehicle was stopped on the southbound side of I-95 in Orono, Culpovich initially lied to the Deputy about her identity. The Deputy confirmed it was Culpovich and that the driver was Dolhancryk. A search of the vehicle revealed the suspects had 3.1 ggw of suspected Crack Cocaine, a Glock 9mm handgun, a .22 revolver, Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun, and other items indicative of drug trafficking activities.

Officials Charged All Three with Unlawful Drug Trafficking

All three people were taken into custody:

Paul Dolhancryk is charged with aggravated unlawful trafficking of scheduled W drugs, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and violation of conditional release.
Tara Culpovich is charged with unlawful trafficking of scheduled W drugs and violation of conditional release.
Robert Moreau is charged with unlawful trafficking of scheduled W drugs and violation of conditional release.

Deputies conducted a second search warrant at 32 Pine Street in Milford on Sunday evening and found additional evidence consistent with drug trafficking. Officials say this remains an active investigation.
