MILTON - A Milton man was arrested on heroin possession on Monday after being stopped by Milton Police on a traffic stop, according to a press release.
Craig Wiggin, 35, of Kingsbury Drive, who was known to have a warrant out of Milton PD for simple assault, was observed on White Mountain Highway in the area of Lakeside Market around 6:30 p.m. and stopped on a traffic stop.
Wiggin was arrested on the warrant, and while inventorying the car prior to its being towed, the officer discovered about seven ounces of heroin in the driver door pocket.
Wiggin was charged with felony possession of a controlled narcotic, and misdemeanor assault in connection with the original warrant.
He was transported to Strafford County House of Correction on $1,000 cash bail, but later made that bail and was released. He will be arraigned at a later date at Rochester District Court.
