Braintree police told the Patriot Ledger that in July, Quincy police were doing surveillance and saw Pujols drive to a house on Franklin Street in Braintree. Pujols left shortly after arriving. Officers said they spoke with the homeowner, who admitted to buying cocaine from Pujols, the Patriot Ledger reported. Pujols was arrested later that day. Police said they seized more than 36 grams of cocaine and over $1,000 in cash.
