LACONIA — Two men were arrested on drug charges yesterday after the vehicle they were in was observed leaving a property that the Laconia Police Department drug unit was preparing to search.
Police released a report yesterday stating that the drug unit was preparing to search the home at 11 Moulton St. on Wednesday, when a vehicle was observed leaving the property. Patrol units stopped the vehicle, which was registered to and driven by Mark M. Sargent, 24, of Liberty Avenue in Franklin. Sargent was arrested on the charge of possession of a narcotic drug after he was allegedly found to be in possession of a syringe containing a substance believed to be methamphetamine. The report states that the vehicle was impounded and searched, leading police to find what they suspect to be methamphetamine under the passenger seat.
The passenger of the vehicle was Robert A. Polito, 48, of 11 Moulton St.. Police arrested Polito on two active warrants for sale of a narcotic drug, which were the result of prior investigations. Police allege that they found the drug Klonopin in Polito's possession; and at the home, suspected drug paraphernalia.
