2 Men Charged For Spit-Dealing Drugs In Worcester: Police
Worcester police say they saw people walk up to the men and hand over cash. One of the men would then spit the drugs out, police said.
WORCESTER, MA — Two men were using a very unhygienic method to deal drugs in Worcester this week, police are reporting.
On Tuesday morning, Worcester police were on patrol along Main Street when they watched two mean distribute drugs by spitting them out.
In the first incident, police said that Christopher Quiles, 20, was approached by a woman who was counting cash. Quiles then spit a bag onto the ground, police said. The woman picked it up and walked away. When police caught up with her, they found the bag contained suspected crack cocaine, police said.
Police continued to watch the men work. A second woman approached and handed money to Angel Garrastegui, 20, and Quiles spit a bag into his hand and then gave it to the woman, police reported. That woman was also found later to be holding suspected rock cocaine.
Both men were arrested and charged with two counts each of distributing a class B substance and one count each of conspiracy to violate drug laws.
