Coventry Police Arrest Three In Fentanyl Bust

COVENTRY, R.I. -- Coventry Police arrested three people early Sunday morning following a weeks-long fentanyl investigation.

Alberto Ayala Jr, 25., Andrew Law, 22, and Maraysha Cunningham, 26, all of 66 Mill St., were arrested just after 1 a.m. Sunday. Coventry Police say witnesses reported a man with a black gun that drove off in a black SUV. The three suspects were inside the home at the time of the incident and initially taken into custody in disorderly conduct charges.

Police had been conducting an investigation in the weeks before the incident after neighbors complained that there were drug deals happening at the house. At 5 a.m. on Sunday, officers searched the house and found a digital scale, packaging materials, a replica handgun and a substance believed to be fentanyl.

All three suspects were charged with controlled substance conspiracy and disorderly conduct, while Ayala and Law were also charged with possession with intent to deliver fentanyl.
