A Weymouth man was arrested on several drug trafficking charges Sunday following the culmination of a multi-agency investigation.
Edgar Baez-De La Rosa, 38, faces two counts each of trafficking in a Class A controlled substance and Class B controlled substance, according to Boston Police.
The BPD Drug Control United, the Norfolk County Police Anti-Crime Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force executed the warrant at an apartment on Kerwin St. in Dorchester.
When officers entered the apartment, they located Baez-De La Rosa and took him into custody without incident, BPD said in a statement.
Police recovered more than 340 grams of fentanyl (including over 1,700 pills), 800 grams of cocaine, and almost 500 grams of methamphetamine, totaling about 1,600 pills, BPD said.
In addition to the drugs, officers said they discovered a “large amount” of cash in U.S. dollars at the apartment as well as digital scales, multiple cell phones, IDs, and drug packing materials.
Baez-De La Rosa is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.
BPD responded to 170 incidents in the 24-hour period ending at 10 a.m. Monday, according to the department’s incident log. Those included one robbery, six aggravated assaults, two commercial burglaries, one residential burglary, one larceny from a vehicle, 14 miscellaneous larcenies, and two auto thefts.
All of the below-named defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
— Colin O’Brien, no address listed. Assault and battery on a family/household member.
— Erik Scanlan, no address listed. Felony breaking and entering at nighttime.
— Renand Pierre-Louis, 58 Bicknell St., Dorchester. Trespassing.
— Matthew Rivera, 75 Winthrop Ave., Revere. Assault and battery.
— Kayla Brooks-Torres, 7 Dalkeith St., Dorchester. Assault and battery on a police officer.
For the next few weeks, you might notice an additional service charge at some restaurants in Massachusetts in anticipation of international visitors who may not be accustomed to U.S. expectations around tipping.
At Union Straw in Foxboro, Massachusetts, customers will see a 20% service charge during the World Cup.
“Time is going to be very, very far, few and beyond for people when they’re trying to get to the stadium, with traffic and all that stuff. So we are going to implement a 20% service charge on all checks and hope to streamline those operations and save people 10 to 15 minutes,” said Craig Carreira, director of operations for Union Straw.
Right outside of Gillette stadium, at Patriot Place, Bar Louie and Davio’s are also planning to add a service charge during the World Cup.
The World Cup is underway, and the Haitian team made its way to Boston Thursday.
“That’s primarily how we do get paid, is through our tips,” said Christine Peterson, a bartender at Davio’s.
In Massachusetts, tipped workers earn $6.75 an hour. If they don’t earn enough in tips to reach $15 an hour, employers must make up the difference.
A 2024 ballot measure that aimed to raise the minimum wage gradually for tipped workers failed, in part, because many servers argued it would lower their overall compensation. So while tipping is largely expected in the U.S., it continues to be a topic of great debate.
“I don’t really like it. I like to tip somebody for their service, but there’s no incentive for the server to do well,” said Joan, a Rhode Island resident.
New signs and new grass are up at Gillette Stadium as the home of the Patriots hosts World Cup matches.
“All these restaurants are getting all this money with all these people coming here, and plus, they’re going to add another 20%,” said Susan, who was at Patriot Place Thursday. “That’s not right, not in my book.”
“I think it’s a good thing. They’re serving us, they should be able to get paid for their service. So I don’t mind,” said Mishi, a woman visiting from Haiti.
Under Massachusetts’ Consumer Protection Act, any mandatory charges or fees must be made known to the customer wherever prices are displayed on menus and bills.
Gillette Stadium, temporarily branded as Boston Stadium, is hosting seven 2026 FIFA World Cup matches from June 13 through July 9.
