Traffic Stop Leads to Multiple Arrests in Fairfield

On September 21, 2024, at approximately 11:58 PM, Trooper Lambert of the Maine State Police Central Field Troop stopped Daniel Pallis (35) of Dresden on Route 201 in Fairfield for inoperable taillights. Based on Trooper Lambert’s observations of the occupants, he recognized both the driver and the passenger, Maria Jackson (30) of Richmond, as individuals who fought with a Maine State Trooper in Augusta on August 10, 2024, as the Trooper was attempting to arrest Jackson as a result of a drug investigation.

Trooper Lambert subsequently arrested Pallis for Aggravated Trafficking of Schedule W Drugs and two counts of Violating Conditions of Release. Maria Jackson was charged with Aggravated Trafficking of Schedule W Drugs and an arrest warrant for Refusing to Submit to Arrest or Detention and Violating Conditions of Release. Two other passengers were also arrested; Paul Duplin (35) of Whitefield was arrested for Aggravated Trafficking in Schedule W Drugs, Violating Conditions of Release, and Unlawful Possession of Schedule W Drugs (MDMA). David Levasseur (38) of Lisbon was arrested for Aggravated Trafficking in Schedule W Drugs and Trafficking in Prison Contraband.
