Cocaine Trafficking Case Dismissed Against Local Woman

The prosecution alleged that on April 29, 2015 members of the Braintree Police Department were engaged in a drug investigation involving large scale distribution of cocaine. They observed a known drug user enter a vehicle registered to a Dominican woman. An Hispanic male was driving the car, the woman was in the passenger seat. The known drug user was seen exiting the car and was detained by officers who observed him to be in possession of some cocaine. He admitted to purchasing the drugs from the driver of this vehicle. Subsequently, that vehicle, the driver and female passenger became additional targets to this investigation. Throughout the remainder of the investigation this couple was seen engaging in multiple drug deals. A few months later, after documenting these deals the two were seen engaging in a sale to another male who was also detained and questioned by the officers. The buyer was seen purchasing from the woman. This time the buyer alerted the police not only to the identity of the sellers but also informed the officers that a large quantity of the drug remained in the vehicle. Surveillance and backup officers descended on the woman’s car. Several ounces of cocaine were found in the vehicle. In the backseat of the car officers found the woman’s young daughter. The parties were arrested and charged with trafficking cocaine, a violation of G.L. c. 94C Section 32E. The woman hired Attorney Stephen Neyman to represent her. Today, all charges were dismissed.
