Massachusetts man arrested for cocaine trafficking after traffic stop – Newport Dispatch
NORTH ATTLEBORO — A Massachusetts State Police trooper arrested a man early today on charges of cocaine trafficking following a routine traffic stop for illegal window tint.
Trooper William Rolls, assigned to the State Police-Foxboro, was patrolling Elm Street shortly after 3:30 a.m. when he noticed a white Jeep SUV with extremely dark window tint, including the windshield, driving past.
Rolls reversed direction and pulled over the vehicle.
Upon approaching the stopped Jeep, Rolls identified the driver as Derrel Graham, 29, of Roxbury.
After explaining the reason for the stop, Rolls tested the window tint and confirmed it was only 8% transparent, well below the minimum legal standard of 35%.
Deeming the vehicle unsafe for night driving due to the excessive tint on the windshield and front side windows, Rolls requested a tow truck.
Before the Jeep was removed, Rolls conducted an inventory of the vehicle’s contents and discovered a bag containing about 360 grams of a substance suspected to be crack cocaine.
Graham was arrested and taken to the Foxboro Barracks for booking.
A bail commissioner set his bail at $100,000.
Graham faces arraignment at Attleboro District Court on charges of trafficking in cocaine, unsafe operation of a motor vehicle, and illegal window tint.

Last-second field goal sinks the Massachusetts Pirates, 36-33
LOWELL — The Massachusetts Pirates were defeated by the top-seeded Green Bay Blizzard with a score of 36-33 in a thrilling Saturday afternoon clash at the Tsongas Center during Indoor Football League action.
Jimmie Robinson stood out with an impressive 113 rushing yards, 35 receiving yards, and a touchdown for the Pirates. Quincy Patterson contributed three rushing touchdowns. However, despite their efforts, they couldn’t overcome Max Meylor’s stellar performance, who amassed 157 yards with a remarkable 153.6 passer rating for Green Bay.
Tied 33-33, Green Bay kept looking to Lowell Patron, and it paid off with gains of 17 and nine yards. That set the stage for a field goal attempt with just six seconds left. Andrew Mevis nailed it from 34 yards out, putting the Blizzard ahead 36-33. Robinson had a chance to return the kickoff with only three seconds remaining, but he couldn’t get past the Blizzard defense.
The Pirates got the ball to start the game and promptly focused on Robinson, who carried the ball three times and made a catch, gaining a total of 20 yards. Advancing to the nine-yard line, they encountered a critical fourth-and-one scenario. Connor Degenhardt and Thomas Owens swiftly connected on a short pass, maintaining the drive. Shortly after, Degenhardt stepped up in the pocket and delivered a bullet pass to Isaac Zico in the back of the end zone, giving the Pirates an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
As the Blizzard advanced down the field, they managed to enter the red zone. However, upon reaching it, the Pirates defense intensified its efforts, topping EJ Burgess twice while Devin Hafford broke up Meylor’s endzone attempt. Consequently, Green Bay opted for a field goal on fourth and goal. Andrew Mevis successfully converted the kick, narrowing the score to 7-3 with 3:49 remaining in the first quarter.
The Pirates offensive series kicked off with a promising 17-yard throw to Isaac Zico, yet this gain was negated by a personal foul attributed to Zico. Subsequently, the drive started to lose momentum, and during a second-and-five play, Degenhardt attempted a deep pass to Owens, only for Ravarius Rivers to intercept it, marking his third interception of the season.
