Drug Distribution Case Dismissed

On May 11, 2018 members of a suburban Boston city narcotics task force were monitoring an area known for significant drug activity. Officers observed drug dealers with whom they were familiar congregating in a parking lot in their cars and on their cell phones. The police monitored the situation for several hours and watched as drug users with whom they were familiar approached the cars and passed objects. The officers believed the passing activity was the exchange of drugs. Officers followed the perceived buyers and learned that in fact they had just purchased from the dealers at the parking lot. One of the officers acting in an undercover capacity approached one of the cars, our client’s car, and engaged in a purchase of cocaine. Our client was arrested, searched and found to be in possession of large quantities of drugs. He was charged with distribution of class B, G.L. c. 94C Section 32A, possession of class E, possession of class B and possession with intent to distribute class E, G.L. c. 94C Section 32D. Today, our office succeeded in getting all charges dismissed.
