GREENFIELD – A car’s noisy muffler led to the arrest of a man and woman - one from Springfield and the other from Springfield, Vt. - on trafficking cocaine Thursday night on Interstate 91.
State Trooper Eric West spotted the Honda Accord, heading north near the Route 2 bypass, about 7:30 p.m., Trooper Kyle Gleick said.
“It was emitting an extremely loud noise,” Gleick said.
When West pulled the vehicle over and questioned the pair, the driver, Deborah Putnam, 56, of 108 South St., Springfield, Vt., admitted having cocaine, Gleick said.
State police found 32.4 grams of cocaine which had been hidden in her pants, Gleick said.
Both Putnam and Michael Gonzalez, 23, of 100 Beacon Terrace, Springfield, were charged with trafficking cocaine and conspiracy to violate the drug laws, Gleick said.
Putnam was also charged with operating a vehicle with defective equipment and failure to wear a seat belt.
Isn't this the second or third time for the guy in this story? Isn't this the 6th or 7th time we have read about drug related charges surrounding the Springfield area?
ReplyDeleteNope we don't have a problem in our town...Let's keep moving them in. Why hasn't Springfield or the State Drug Agency gotton a search warrant for her home? Why haven't we attached her home OR here is a novel approach..hold the owner of the property accountable. Wouldn't take long with fining the owners before they started screening their applicants better.
If you re-read this, Springfield MASS police arrested them....
ReplyDeleteI understand that they were caught in Springfield Mass. But they were from Springfield VT. Which means that the stash they were carrying was in this town and at their house. DUH!
ReplyDeleteIs this the same women whose son Nick Putnam and daughter -in -law Katie Putnam also been recently been arrested for drug issues too? Also were in a fire and lost the apartment they were living in, oh and they have 5 children. Where is the state in all this?
