AUBURN, ME –– Bailing out a friend with counterfeit money landed two people in jail last week.

According to the Auburn Police Department, 39-year-old Angelina Quirion and 33-year-old Adam Jalbert allegedly attempted to bail someone from the Androscoggin County Jail with fake bills.

When officers located Quirion and Jalbert they were outside the jail in a vehicle. Both individuals had active bail conditions from previous drug arrests.

After searching their vehicle, officers located the following items:

  • 112.3 grams of cocaine base
  • 165.3 grams of cocaine
  • 299.5 grams of fentanyl
  • 492.3 grams of methamphetamines
  • one handgun 

As a result of their arrest, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for an apartment in the City of Bangor.

When officers searched the apartment they located a significant amount of narcotics:

  • 2 pounds of fentanyl
  • Nearly 2 pounds of methamphetamine
  • Over $30,000 in suspected drug proceeds
  • 2 handguns
  • 1 AR-15 rifle.

The suspected street value of the drugs found in the apartment is $250,000.

Quirion and Jalbert were subsequently charged with aggravated trafficking of Schedule W drugs and violation of conditional release.

One of my stepsons, who in the past had an issue with crack cocaine, could not abide tweakers.  Yeah, he had a problem with his chemical of choice, but he steadfastly maintained that meth was much worse than crack when it came to what it does to a user.  To me it's all poison and those who choose to use either are idiots, but I found his perspective interesting.

I also at one point told him that anyone who used crack even once was an idiot.  He found that offensive, and I reminded him that crack had f___ed up his life.  He had no response to that.

This generation and a few closer to mine, have a real issue with anything resembling personal responsibility. My folks did not coddle me, instead, held me responsible for all my misdoings, usually resulting in a sore backside and I do not feel traumatized at all.
