On December 11th, 2017, at approximately 6:00 p.m. Fall River Police Department Uniform Division Officer Tyler Paquette and Wendell Burks were on patrol when they observed a blue Ford Focus traveling on Slade Street without lights and conducted a motor vehicle stop. When the vehicle stopped, the Officers exited the cruiser and approached from the blind side. From their vantage point, they observed the operator holding a clear plastic bag containing what appeared to be Heroin. The operator stuffed the bag into his groin area. As the operator was stuffing the bag, Officer Paquette quickly opened the driver’s door and removed the operator, placing him in handcuffs and removed the bag from his groin.

The operator was placed under arrest. Also seized were a large sum of cash and a pocket knife. The Heroin weighed in at approximately 15g.

Luis Enrique Garcia-Cuesta, age 44 of Fall River is charged with:
