WINTHROP — Chief John Goodwin reports that the Winthrop Police Department arrested a Lynn man on charges of drug trafficking and resisting arrest.
LUIS DE DIOS CARVAJAL, AGE 30, of LYNN, was charged with:
- Trafficking Over 36 Grams of Fentanyl
- Trafficking Over 18 Grams of Cocaine
- Resisting Arrest
On Monday, July 29, at about 12 p.m., Winthrop Police and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department executed three search warrants for the person, vehicle, and cellphone of DE DIOS CARVAJAL.
Police were conducting surveillance in the area of 200 Governor’s Drive when they observed DE DIOS CARVAJAL‘s white Honda CR-V. DE DIOS CARVAJAL exited the vehicle, at which point officers approached him to execute the search warrants.
DE DIOS CARVAJAL attempted to run from the scene but was apprehended and placed under arrest.
While running away, officers observed DE DIOS CARVAJAL drop an object on the ground. A subsequent search located the object, a paper towel containing two clear plastic bags, both filled with a powdery substance.
A search of the vehicle located several additional plastic bags containing powdery and rock substances in a panel of the car. Officers recovered approximately 32 grams of fentanyl and 48 grams of crack cocaine. Police also found $1,933 in cash, three deposit receipts totaling $2,900, two cellphones, and DE DIOS CARVAJAL‘s wallet.
DE DIOS CARVAJAL is being held without bail at East Boston District Court pending a dangerousness hearing.
“As I stated in my swearing-in in front of the Town Council and residents, one of my main objectives is to continue quality investigations into drug trafficking in the community,” said Chief Goodwin. “This is great work by our Winthrop officers in coordination with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department to remove a significant amount of illegal drugs from our streets.”
