WOLCOTT — Two women have been charged after police say they were found operating a drug factory out of a local motel room.
A bail enforcement agent called police around 5:15 p.m. Thursday to say he was about to take someone into custody at the Amerivue Motel on Wolcott Road.
The agent told police the individual, wanted on a felony warrant, may be armed, so they responded to the motel.
When they got there, officers found the agent knocking at one of the motel room doors. An individual opened the door and the agent went inside looking for the wanted person, police said.
Officers waited at the open door until the agent told officers he saw narcotics in the room. Police said an officer walked in and saw numerous packets of narcotics and packaging materials in plain sight.
Two women in the room — identified as Ajahne Miller, 24, of Ashley Street in Hartford, and Kiana Maldonado, 28, of Maple Street in Bristol — were taken into custody and charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, operating a drug factory and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were held on $100,000 bond.
Officers seized 41 bundles of glassine bags — with 10 bags per bundle — of a white powdery substance, three plastic bags filled with a white powder substance, four boxes of empty glassine bags and three bags of small elastic bands, police said.
Police said the white substance in the bags tested positive for a mixture of cocaine and fentanyl.
The wanted person sought by the bail enforcement agent was not in the room, according to police.
