Multiple Women Arrested in Separate US Drug Trafficking Investigations

Two significant methamphetamine trafficking cases recently led to arrests in the U.S. In Carteret County, North Carolina, Melissa Guitard was arrested after a month-long undercover investigation revealed her involvement in trafficking methamphetamine, including traveling outside the county to resupply. She was charged with multiple serious offenses and held on a $1 million bond. In Lewiston, Maine, 21-year-old Samantha Ogwudiegwu was arrested following an investigation that included undercover purchases of fentanyl; authorities seized a substantial quantity of drugs such as cocaine, fentanyl, oxycodone, and psilocybin mushrooms, along with firearms. Ogwudiegwu was charged with aggravated drug trafficking and released on bail pending further charges. These cases highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat drug trafficking and distribution in local communities.
