Pretrial Probation for Man Charged With Two Counts of Drug Distribution

In August of 2019 members of a drug task force in the city of Boston were patrolling and conducting surveillance in a part of the city known for high incidents of drug distribution activity. Officers observed our client pick up a known drug user, circle around the block and drop the individual back at the same location. The incident lasted a few minutes. Believing they had just witnessed a drug transaction the officers converged on the buyer. They interrogated him. He quickly revealed that he had just purchased heroin and cocaine from our client. Other members of the surveillance stopped our client. In plain view they observed drugs packaged identically to the drugs just seized from the buyer. Our client was arrested and charged with two counts of distribution of drugs, cocaine and heroin respectively. These are drug crimes in Massachusetts under G.L. c. 94C section 32 and G.L. c. 94C section 32A. Attorney Neyman was retained to defend this case. Today, the district attorney agreed to pretrial probation under G.L. c. 276 section 87. All charges will be dismissed in a few months.
