20-year-old Jaysin Pedro Selter-Luna, of Dorchester, Massachusetts has been arrested as part of an Auburn Police Department drug trafficking investigation.
From the Auburn Police:
The Auburn Police Department’s Proactive Community Enforcement Unit (PACE) has been investigating suspected drug trafficking activity taking place at 114 Hampshire Street in Auburn. At approximately 6:45 PM on April 8th, officers working this investigation observed a suspect get into a vehicle that was leaving the residence. A vehicle stop was conducted, and the rear seat passenger was identified as 20-year-old Jaysin Pedro Selter-Luna, of Dorchester, Massachusetts. The vehicle being used was a ride share vehicle (Uber). During the stop, Selter-Luna was found with a loaded Kimber 9-millimeter handgun. The serial on the firearm had been ground off. A further search of Selter-Luna’s revealed approximately 28 grams of cocaine HCL, 54 grams of fentanyl powder, a spare loaded magazine for the firearm, a digital scale, packaging material, and over $1,100 in suspected drug proceeds.
Selter-Luna could not produce any identification and refused to provide his name verbally to investigators. Selter-Luna’s identity was later confirmed while he was being booked at the Androscoggin County Jail. A search warrant was also executed at 114 Hampshire Street as part of this investigation. The search yielded additional drugs and ammunition, which were seized by police. Selter-Luna has been charged with two counts of class A Aggravated Trafficking Schedule Drug, two counts of class C Possession of Schedule Drug, class C Criminal Simulation for possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number, class D Carrying a Concealed Weapon, as it is illegal in the State of Maine for a person under 21-years-of-age to carry a concealed handgun, and class E Failing to Provide Name, Address, and Date of Birth to a law enforcement officer. The trafficking charges are considered aggravated due to Selter-Luna being in possession of a firearm while trafficking drugs as well as being within 1,000′ of Chestnut Street Park, a designated Safe Zone by the City of Auburn.
This case in ongoing and additional criminal charges are possible.
