Stoughton, Taunton Men Indicted On Fentanyl Trafficking Charges

DEDHAM, MA — Two men were indicted on Tuesday after police said the men were trafficking at least 55 grams of heroin mixed with fentanyl.

Jonathan Greene, 22, of Stoughton, and Jesse Cirelli, 29, of Taunton, were charged with trafficking at least 36 grams of heroin, trafficking at least 36 grams of fentanyl, trafficking at least 10 grams of fentanyl, oxycodone possession with intent to distribute, and two counts of conspiracy. Cirelli also faces a charge of driving with a suspended license.

The two men were arrested in December after police said they saw what looked like a drug deal outside a home on Water Street. Police pulled over a car outside the house and spoke with Greene and Cirelli. Charlie, the police dog started sniffing the car and according to police, smelled drugs near the front passenger seat. Police searched the car and said they seized 15 bags filled with 55 grams of fentanyl/heroin, and oxycodone pills. Depending on the amount of fentanyl in the bags, that's potentially 27,500 times the lethal dose, which is two milligrams.

Tuesday's indictment transferred the case from Quincy District Court to Norfolk Superior Court, where longer prison sentences are allowed. An arraignment date has not been scheduled yet.
