Natick Man Charged with Drug Crimes out of Framingham

Luis Hernandez, 41, of Natick, was arrested this past week and charged with Massachusetts Drug Crimes Violations following a ‘month-long’ investigation in Framingham. Hernandez was charged with Unlawful Distribution of a Controlled Substance; Possession with Intent to Distribute Drugs; Conspiracy to Violate the Massachusetts Drug Laws and Resisting Arrest.

According to the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, Natick Police allegedly observed Luis Hernandez engage in a drug transaction from the parking lot of his Natick apartment. Police then followed the alleged buyers, Gina Stucchi and William Roberts, to a parking lot in Framingham off Route 9 and allegedly observed them attempting to himself with cocaine or heroin. One of the passengers in the car, Maria Woods, allegedly told police they had purchased the drugs from Luis Hernandez.

Natick Police stopped Luis Hernandez sometime thereafter and he allegedly admitted to having drugs in the car, as well as drugs in a safe in his apartment. Officers then searched Hernandez’ apartment and allegedly recovered cocaine and drug paraphernalia.

Seems too easy for the police doesn’t it? Imagine how simple it was for everyone involved to admit their criminal culpability, make statements implicating themselves in drug dealing, while at the same time providing police with the probable cause to conduct a warrantless search of an apartment. There must be more, or less, to this story…

At the end of the day, in almost every case my clients are involved with, I almost always get the same statement from the client: “I never told the police that!” Discrepancies concerning any alleged statements are to be taken very seriously, particularly where the client/defendant denies making any statements in the first place. For that reason, I always advise clients to err on the side of caution and invoke their Right to Remain Silent or Privilege Against Self-Incrimination.

Regardless, all other persons involved in this investigation were arrested on various Drug Crimes Charges.
