Massachusetts police seize over 1,000 grams of fentanyl

Police in Massachusetts have arrested a man for drug trafficking after a recent investigation led to a major fentanyl bust. Eric Serrano, 45, was found with over 1,000 grams of fentanyl and $12,000 in cash. He faces serious charges, including trafficking fentanyl and cocaine. Serrano is being held without bail. The drugs and cash were seized during a police operation on Wednesday at his home in Chelsea. Authorities say the fentanyl has a street value ranging from $150 to $200 per gram, totaling up to $227,600. Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden called the operation crucial for public safety. He noted that removing large amounts of fentanyl can help combat opioid-related overdose deaths in the community. Serrano has a history of drug convictions from 1997 and 2010. The authorities also found another man, 23-year-old Felix Agromonte, at the scene, who had multiple outstanding warrants for various charges. Serrano's next court appearance will include a hearing regarding his dangerousness.
