Fall River man wanted on warrant, previously stuck in chimney, facing new drug charges

A wanted Fall River man is facing new charges after a recent arrest.

According to police, on Sunday, members of our Community Action & Suppression Team were proactively patrolling the city when they received information that 35-year-old Robert Langlais was in possession of a significant quantity of suspected crack cocaine.

Langlais also had an outstanding warrant stemming from firearm-related charges from an arrest last November.

Detectives observed Langlais entering and exiting the backseat of a parked SUV on Parker Street. When approached outside the vehicle, Langlais fled on foot onto Globe Street. He is well known to CAST detectives for his preference for running. Detectives quickly closed the distance and Langlais surrendered.

Langlais was taken into custody on his outstanding warrant. A search of his person resulted in the recovery of two bags containing suspected crack cocaine, weighing just over 29 grams.

In addition to his warrant, Langlais was charged with Trafficking in Cocaine (18–36 grams).

Court records show that at arraignment, he pled not guilty and was being held on $10,000 surety bond/ $1,000 cash bail with a probable cause hearing scheduled for July 29th.
