General Continuance For New Hampshire Man Charged With Heroin Possession

On December 23, 2014 a Lawrence, Massachusetts drug task force was conducting surveillance on the south side of the city for the purpose of curbing street crime activity, particularly prostitution and drug distribution. During the course of the operation officers observed a vehicle with New Hampshire plates containing four occupants. Two of the occupants made contact with a known drug dealer. Officers observed an exchange they believed to be a drug transaction. The license plates of the New Hampshire were run and it was discovered that the car was registered to an address nearly an hour and an half away from Lawrence. Officers confronted the occupants of the car, one of them being the defendant. The defendant admitted to swallowing a quantity of heroin to avoid being arrested by the police. He was arrested and charged with possession of heroin and conspiracy to violate the Massachusetts drug laws. Today, Attorney Neyman secured a general continuance for three months for the defendant. He will not have a criminal record.
