Haverhill police arrested two young adults yesterday and charged them with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and marijuana, conspiracy and a school zone violation. The arrests came about as a result of a raid on the defendant’s apartment that was authorized by a search warrant. It is alleged that the couple had been selling cocaine in their own neighborhood for several weeks and that complaints were made to police about the recent drug activity. During the course of the search police seized two bags of marijuana, five bags of cocaine and assorted drug distribution paraphernalia.
Possession with the intent to distribute controlled substances in Massachusetts is punishable by imprisonment. The Massachusetts school zone statute requires that a person convicted of either distributing, possessing with the intent to distribute or trafficking controlled substances be imprisoned for at least two years in addition to the sentence they received for the underlying offense.
