On December 19th at approximately 2:45 p.m., members of the DEA Cape Cod Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at two properties located in the town of Mashpee.

Watkins was also found to be in possession of rounds of ammunition. He does not possess a license to carry or license to possess ammunition, according to Galibois.

The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the Federal Drug Task Force and resulted in a search warrant affidavit authored by Det. Sullivan of the Dennis Police Department. Deputies from the Barnstable Sheriff’s Department, along with members of Bourne, Sandwich, Yarmouth, Dennis, Massachusetts State Police, and Barnstable Police Departments actively participated in this investigation.

The case will be prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Michael Giardino. Watkins is due back in the Falmouth District Court on January 23, 2024, for a Probable Cause Hearing.
