In the evening on Monday, August 28th, an incident took place on Route 91 in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Trooper Timothy Alben arrested two men found in possession of over 300 grams of crack and powder cocaine.
The catalyst for their discovery was nothing more than an illegal window tint violation, which led to the uncovering of a much more sinister operation in place.

During the traffic stop, inconsistencies in the stories of the men arrested, Jose Torres and Alicedes Hernandez, raised Trooper Alben's suspicions of criminal activity.
Following their arrest, both men faced several charges, including drug trafficking and conspiracy to violate drug law, as noted in the same MSP News article.
As per the MSP News report, both men were set a $10,000 bail, highlighting the financial weight placed on those involved in drug-related crimes and those who intimately surrounded.
