Two Maine men were arrested in Massachusetts on Saint Patrick’s Day while allegedly transporting heroin from Connecticut en route north to Maine.
According to the Massachusetts State Police, Joshua Turner, 31, of Fairfield, Andrew Labobe, 26, of Presque Isle, and Luis Vasquez, 39, of Springfield, Mass., were driving north on Interstate 91 with heroin recently purchased in Hartford, Connecticut.
A Massachusetts state trooper pulled over the Chevy Tracker driven by Turner in Longmeadow, Mass. for having an unreadable Maine license plate. None of the men had a driver’s license, and as the vehicle was being inventoried before towing, police discover an unspecified amount of heroin.
The three were arrested and taken to the Massachusetts State Police’s Springfield Barracks where they are being held on $25,000 bail each, according to a media release. The men are now facing multiple drug charges, including trafficking in heroin.
