A recent trafficking case that originated in the Framingham District Court involved a large scale international drug trafficking operation. An individual was being watched for several weeks. His telephones calls were being intercepted by wiretap. Officers learned that the man, along with another man were going to deliver drugs to a buyer. The defendant was followed. The police saw him sell drugs. When they grabbed him, trying to conceal evidence he put several packets of heroin in his mouth and attempted to swallow them. He was arrested. His home was searched and a significant amount of heroin was found. It was enough to charge trafficking heroin.
Just a day later another man who was out on bail for trafficking oxycodone was arrested after the police saw him selling drugs. This time, in additional to oxycodone the man was found in possession of a large quantity of marijuana. The second case caused bail to be revoked in the first case.
