DOVER - A Milton man is facing up to 15 years in state prison after being charged for a second time with drug possession.

Zachary Stewart, 28, with a last known address of 92 Pineland Park, was arrested in Lee on Oct. 13. He was subsequently charged with possession of a controlled drug, a Class A felony that carries a seven and a half to 15 years prison stint and up to a $50,000 fine.

Steward drew the enhanced felony due to a prior conviction on a similar charge.

The Strafford County indictments were handed down earlier this month and released last week.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, rather that enough evidence has been gathered to warrant a trial.
