At just before noon members of the Queen City’s Special Enforcement Division saw a wanted subject – Jones – outside of his apartment and arrested him on drug sale warrants. When they searched him, they allegedly found a bag containing 0.88 grams of cocaine in his pocket, according to a report. He was charged and was arraigned today.

During a traffic stop on Maple Street for failure to use a turn signal, detectives spoke to Jsirandanis, who allegedly made “furtive movements” as they stopped the vehicle. They asked if she had any illegal drugs in the vehicle and she allegedly admitted that she did. After a consent search, they allegedly found three suboxone strips, two alrazopam, and penicillin.

“They also observed her swallow a substance they believed to be heroin,” Lt. Brian O’Keefe alleged in a press statement.

Jsirandanis was arraigned this morning.

Two other officers were sent to the Granite State Dunkin’ Donuts at just after 2 p.m. after an employee alleged that a patron was consuming drugs in the drive-thru. They stopped the vehicle – a red Nissan Altima – and spoke to the driver, a Massachusettts woman and a passenger, later identified as Lucchesi.

“Both individuals made multiple furtive movements as the officers approached, so they ordered them out of the vehicle to ensure no weapons were located within reach of the two individuals,” O’Keefe alleged. “Lucchesi exited the vehicle and allegedly dropped a small plastic bag containing a small rock like substance on to the passenger seat. The operator granted consent to search. The bag was located on the seat where he had been sitting and contained 2.17grams of methamphetamine.”

Lucchesi was also allegedly in possession of 13 alrazopam pills and nearly 12 grams of marijuana, according to O’Keefe. He was arraigned this morning. The driver was not charged.

At just after 10 p.m., a detective and another officer located Guillermo – who was wanted on warrants – in a parking lot of the South Main Street Mobil gas station, according to a report. During a search, detectives allegedly found him in possession of a handgun and 0.7 grams of heroin, and he was charged.
