A 42-year-old man faces over 10 years in prison for possession and drug trafficking after police seized a large amount of drugs in Millinocket. He pleaded guilty to the charges Monday.

Man was Passenger in Vehicle

Lenin Nova-Nova from the Dominican Republic was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over for a headlight violation in November 2023. 

Suspect gave Police False Name

Court records said the East Millinocket Police Department “observed an unnatural bulge under Nova-Nova’s clothing. Nova-Nova identified himself using a false name, and a warrant check of that alias revealed an outstanding warrant for arrest.”

Officers found Substances Wrapped in Cellophane

Officers searched Nova-Nova and found $1,305 in cash, four cell phones, and suspected controlled substances wrapped in cellophane.

Drugs Seized

Police seized 113 grams of 100% pure methamphetamine, approximately 19 grams of a substance containing fentanyl, and 57.8 grams of a substance containing cocaine base.

Identity Confirmed

Nova-Nova’s identity was confirmed by Homeland Security.

Facing $10 Million Fine

In addition to prison, Nova-Nova also faces a fine up to $10 Million and a lifetime of supervised release.

DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine (WABI) – Thousands made their way to Dover-Foxcroft on Saturday for the 15th Annual Maine Whoopie Pie Festival.

This year’s festival saw a record number of bakers from all over New England and featured over 100 vendors.

Whether it was chainsaw demonstrations, live music or even wrestling, the day was full of fun things to do and most importantly eat.

The festival even saw TV-5′s own Joy Hollowell who worked as a judge for the Whoopie Pie contest.

It has been 3 years since the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center alerted us to a level 3 out of 5 severe weather risk this far in advance. This is also the first time we are seeing a 10% risk for tornadoes since the beginning of the Storm Prediction Center outlooks in 2020.

Damaging wind gusts and even tornadoes are possible from noon Sunday into the early evening as a storm approaches from the west.

The threat starts at a level 1 (lowest out of 5) from Greenville, Bangor and Bar Harbor southwest to outside Augusta, as the storms will lose momentum by the time they reach Down East and northern Maine.

We get up to a level 2 out of 5 from Rangeley, Augusta and down to the Rockland area pushing southwest to Oxford and York counties. This is where the severe thunderstorm threat covers the most areas, with favorable conditions expected thanks to sunshine at midday.

The severe threat is highest over southwestern Oxford County into Carroll and Coos counties in New Hampshire. In central New Hampshire, conditions are most favorable for tornadoes and damaging wind gusts during the midday hours.

Here’s a timeline of the threats and when you can expect them. This mostly applies to the yellow and orange shaded areas. The thunderstorms will slide east later Sunday afternoon and evening.

Flooding on a localized scale could become an issue as the storms turn into broken segments and go over the same towns in the evening. Watch for standing water, and be aware of down lines and branches.

This is an idea of what the radar will look like Sunday afternoon. The clusters of thunderstorms and broken line segments will be moving east.

If a tornado or severe thunderstorm watch is issued, here’s what you need to know.
