SWAT Team Brought In For Fentanyl Bust, 4 Charged: Stoughton PD

STOUGHTON, MA — The SWAT team was brought in to help officers search a home and find large amounts of fentanyl and other drugs, according to police. Four people were arrested, following the search of the home at 149 Canton St.

Two residents, Wizley Occivil, 30, and Michena Occivil, 28, were arrested, along with Donald Saladin, 25, of Stoughton, and Henry Nelson, 27, of Brighton. The suspects face the following charges:

• Wizley Occivil was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, illegal possession with intent to distribute a class A substance (fentanyl), illegal possession with intent to distribute a class B substance (OxyContin) and illegal possession with intent to distribute a class E substance (Xanax).
• Michena Occivil was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, illegal possession with intent to distribute a class B substance (Suboxone), illegal possession with intent to distribute a class E substance (Xanax) and illegal possession of a class B substance.
• Nelson was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, illegal possession with intent to distribute a class A substance (fentanyl) and illegal possession with intent to distribute a class E substance (Xanax).
• Saladin was charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, illegal possession with intent to distribute a class A substance (fentanyl) and illegal possession with intent to distribute a class E substance (Xanax).

All suspects pleaded not guilty at their arraignment on Monday, and with the exception of Nelson, have been released on bail, the Brockton Enterprise reported. Prosecutors said Nelson had a previous warrant out for his arrest, so he was held without bail.

According to Stoughton police, the house had been under investigation for about three months. Over that time, police said they were able to put together a "comprehensive report," which proved drugs were being sold out of the house. On Friday at 4:45 p.m., Stoughton police executed a search warrant with the help of DEA agents, a SWAT team, Norfolk County Sheriff’s Department deputies, and Randolph police. When officers searched the house, they said they seized 9.2 grams of fentanyl, 84 Percocet pills, OxyContin pills, 58 Xanax pills and 4 Suboxone strips, as well as nearly $3,000 in cash, the Brockton Enterprise reported.

Lt. John Bonney said careful planning was needed for this particular case because the house is located in a busy area of town.

“The home at 149 Canton St. sits on the very busy Route 27, so we had to take great precautions in the planning and execution of this entry,” said Bonney. “Canton Street was detoured during entry and remained closed for a short period of time.”
