WINTHROP — The Winthrop, Everett and Revere Police Departments announce that, after a joint investigation into fentanyl and crack cocaine distribution in the region, an alleged drug dealer has been arrested and charged with numerous offenses.
After a nearly two-month investigation led by Winthrop Police, which included the use of undercover police officers, on Friday, Sept. 26, Everett Police Department Special Criminal Investigations Unit, in conjunction with the Winthrop Police Department and the Revere Police Department, obtained and executed a search warrant for an address in the City of Everett and an arrest warrant for a resident at that address.
MICHAEL DIAZ, age 22, of EVERETT, was arrested and charged with:
- Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class B Substance (Crack Cocaine)
- Possession with Intent to Distribute a Class A Substance (Fentanyl)
- Trafficking a Class B Substance Over 36 Grams (Crack Cocaine)
- Trafficking a Class A Substance Over 36 grams (Fentanyl)
DIAZ, who is known to police, was also held on five outstanding warrants out of East Boston District Court.
As police were seeking to serve the warrants, DIAZ attempted to flee in a vehicle, but he was quickly stopped, and police were able to take him into custody without further incident. No injuries were reported.
As a result of the search warrant, police seized more than 36 grams of both crack cocaine and fentanyl.
DIAZ was held pending arraignment, scheduled for later Monday in East Boston District Court.
These are allegations. All defendants are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
