Boston Man Arrested in Weymouth for Intending to Distribute Fake and Real Drugs

A man who police say is well known by the Weymouth narcotics units is being charged with possession to distribute drugs, both real and fake.

Fredrick Jerome, 27, of Boston, was arraigned in Quincy District Court earlier this week and charged with possession to distribute counterfeit drugs; distributing a Class D drug, subsequent offense; conspiracy to violate drug law; drug violation near a school or park; and possession to distribute a Class D drug.

On March 20, police monitoring Lincoln Square noticed Jerome entering the Shell near Weston Park and Playground. According to the police report, Jerome entered a vehicle and left after two minutes, behavior that police considered to be consistent with a drug deal. When police pulled the vehicle over at a red light, the operator admitted to buying marijuana from Jerome.

Jerome was later arrested near South Shore Christian Academy. During the booking, police discovered a bag of flour he intended to sell as cocaine to recover money lost from a previous deal.

Jerome is free on his own personal recognizance and is due back in court on June 2.
