A Wiscasset man is out on bail after his arrest for allegedly selling a teen a marijuana cigarette for $5, Wiscasset police said.

Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline arrested Kris Sliker, 57, on March 12, on one count of aggravated unlawful trafficking in scheduled drug, Cline states in a March 17 press release.

Before Sliker was arrested, he admitted selling a 16-year-old boy a marijuana cigarette, the release states.
