Meth, Ecstasy seized on Otis St., MassachusettsFeds join local raid
WAKEFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS— Elements of the Drug Enforcement Agency, United States Marshal's Service, Massachusetts State Police and local detectives seized methamphetamine, Ecstasy and just over $7,000 in cash after a raid on an Otis Street home Friday morning in a break-up of what police said was a methamphetamine distribution ring.
Federal law enforcement and local police arrived at 26 Otis St. Friday morning at 6:27 to serve a federal arrest warrant for a resident believed to be at the home.
Police said they were unable to locate the man wanted on the warrant, but did arrest 26-year-old Otis Street resident Keith Porter for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute along with possession of Ecstasy.
Police arrived at the home early Friday morning and immediately set up cruisers at the top and bottom of Otis Street, along with placing police in front and in back of the home.
Police said the two marshals, members of the fugitive apprehension team, assisted the DEA agents in entering the home and serving the federal warrant.
Once inside, during a protective sweep, police said they found Porter and another man sleeping. Porter was eventually taken into custody, while the second man, a visitor from Maryland, was sent on his way.
Inside the home federal agents and marshals immediately located suspicious bags containing an off-white substance on a shelf in the living room, said police. The two bags reportedly contained methamphetamine.
Massachusetts police said they seized three-quarters of an ounce of methamphetamine and an once of an unknown substance.
An additional amount of 100 hits of Ecstasy, a well known "rave" drug, was also located in the home, according to police.
Both "meth" and Ecstasy are commonly associated "club drugs."
According to the DEA-Massachusetts website, "Methamphetamine is reportedly abused at 'rave' parties by young adults between the ages of 18 to 25; however, individuals in their late 30s to early 40s also abuse the drug."
Additional DEA website information notes, "Methamphetamine prices vary throughout different regions of the United States. At the distribution level, prices range from $3,500 per pound in parts of California and Texas to $21,000 per pound in southeastern and northeastern regions of the country. Retail prices range from $400 to $3,000 per ounce."
A more detailed search of the home turned up two safes. Believing that additional drugs or their proceeds could be concealed within, police said they drafted an affidavit for a search warrant to get inside the safe.
Police said after having the District Attorney sign off on the warrant, it was issued by Malden Court and local detectives John Moccia and Richard Cass returned to the Otis Street home.
Called in during that time, police said, was a Massachusetts state Police K-9 unit which swept the home looking for additional drugs. While finding several potential drug hot spots, police said the dog focused on the two safes.
Aiding police in entering the safe was a safe and lock company. Police said the firm drilled the lock on the first safe in the upstairs bedroom but came up empty. In the safe downstairs police said they located $7,100.
"Methamphetamine has a limited availability in Massachusetts, although it has been seen in some areas of Cape Cod and western Massachusetts," notes the DEA website.
Interestingly, statistics from earlier this year showed the Massachusetts DEA contingent had not seized any methamphetamine in the state.
In addition to seizing the drugs and cash, police also confiscated a car at the residence, and had Animal Control officer Ken Stache take custody of a pitbull found there.
Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant which affects the central nervous system. It is most commonly known by the street names of "meth, crystal meth, crank or speed" and can be taken a variety of ways including snorting, ingestion or injection. In its smokable form it is called "ice."
A majority of the methamphetamine abused in the United States is produced and distributed from clandestine labs in California and Mexico. Domestic labs, run by what law enforcement calls "cookers," are primarily located in the western, southwestern and midwestern United States.
Due to the variety of chemicals and methods involved in production of meth, labs are only raided by specially equipped and trained law enforcement.
Local Massachusetts police noted that the home on Otis Street was not used for production of the drug.
Massachusetts police also said they found a digital scale and plastic baggies in the living room. Additionally police said they confiscated a loaded 9mm magazine for a Lugar pistol, along with additional ammunition.
