HAVERHILL — A Plymouth man has been indicted on charges of drug trafficking and operating a drug den.

Donahue Clogston, 51, of 88 Texas Hill Road, Plymouth, was among those indicted on drug-related charges by the latest session of the Grafton County Superior Court Grand Jury.

Clogston was indicted on charges of possessing fentanyl with intent to sell, possession of fentanyl, possession of methamphetamine, and allowing his residence to be used “by drug-dependent persons for the purpose of using controlled drugs” — a crime technically called maintaining a common nuisance.
