Heroin In The CVS Parking Lot: Brookline Arrest Logs

BROOKLINE, MA — Thursday two people were arrested, one on several default warrants and the other for disorderly person, which turned into resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. Back in October, a woman was arrested after police saw what they determined was an attempt to shoot up with heroin in the CVS parking lot on Cypress Street. Arrests do not imply conviction. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
