Weymouth —
A shoplifting investigation by Weymouth police turned into a drug bust when officers reportedly found 14 OxyContin pills on a 35-year-old Bridgewater man near CVS on Route 18 on March 2.
“Detectives were in the area,” Capt. James Mullin said. “They believed that the vehicle that was used by a suspect in a previous shoplifting incident at the CVS was in the area. When that vehicle showed up, they stopped it on Route 18.”
Police questioned the driver, Kelly Lydon, 30, of East Bridgewater, and arrested her on motor vehicle charges on a warrant issued by Brockton Superior Court.
“The officers talked with her husband and he was discovered to have OxyContin on him,” Mullin said.
Patrick Lydon pleaded innocent to possession of OxyContin with intent to sell during his arraignment in Quincy District Court on March 3.
Mullin said that Lydon was released on bail.
Kelly Lydon was to be arraigned on the motor vehicle charges in Brockton District Court on March 3.
Police arrested a 24–year-old Weymouth woman for heroin possession an hour later when Officer Eric Schraut noticed a car in the Walgreens parking lot on Route 53 that a suspect drove in connection with a shoplifting incident at a CVS in Quincy.
Mullin said that Schraut arrested Dina Morgan, of 15 Lake Shore Drive for heroin possession after residue was found on the bottom of a can that had been placed upside down on the car’s center console.
Morgan’s friend, Carissa Lucas, 24, was arrested a few minutes later when Schraut found her inside Walgreens.
“Carissa Lucas claimed to be homeless,” Mullin said.
Police charged Lucas with possession of heroin and a hypodermic needle that had residue of the drug on it.
Both women were to be arraigned on the charges in Quincy District Court on March 3.
“The guys have been doing a good job,” Mullin said about the arrests of the suspects.
