ACTON — Chief James Cogan reports that the Acton Police Department arrested and charged a man with operating after license suspension for OUI, and with possession with intent to distribute steroids.
JOSEPH LAWLER, AGE 46, OF CHARLESTOWN, was arrested and charged with:
- Operating After Suspension for OUI
- Safety Glass Violation
- Possession of a Class E Substance
- Possession of a Class E Substance with Intent to Distribute
On Friday, April 19, at approximately 8:52 a.m., Officer Kyle Monahan was on patrol in the area of Main Street when he observed a vehicle with a large crack on its windshield. Officer Monahan ran the vehicle’s license plate, which revealed that the registered owner had a suspended license.
Officer Monahan stopped the vehicle and determined that LAWLER was operating on a license that was previously suspended due to a conviction for Operating Under the Influence. LAWLER was taken into custody.
A subsequent inventory search of his vehicle located numerous packages of various types of steroids.
LAWLER was arraigned Friday in Concord District Court, where he was released on personal recognizance and ordered not to consume alcohol or drugs, and to submit to a substance abuse evaluation and follow up.
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
