Acton Police Break Up Alleged Teen Pot Dealing Ring

Acton police said they arrested four people involved in a marijuana dealing operation on Lothrop Road.

On Friday at about 3:45 p.m., the police department’s drug unit raided 22 Lothrop Rd., armed with a warrant following a drug sales investigation.

When officers arrived at the residence, a teenager exited the home with marijuana after purchasing it from three people inside. The 17-year-old male was given a civil citation for marijuana possession. His name was not released because he’s a minor.

The three others arrested are:

• Nicholas Colliton, 18, of 22 Lothrop Rd.
• Patrick Wooding, 19, of 15 Forest Rd.
• Ryan Conery, 21, of 34 Squirrel Hill Rd.

All three were charged with marijuana possession with intent to distribute, conspiracy, and possessing over 1 ounce of marijuana.
