In a crackdown that reads like a suburban edition of "The Wire," Worcester's finest busted a local drug den, snatching up bags of the killjoy cocktail fentanyl and its wicked cousin meth, plus a rifle for good measure. The sting unfolded on November 30, when Vice Squad officers swooped into a residence on Cambridge St. at around 10:40 AM on the dot to serve a search warrant that would inevitably spoil one local pusher's day, as reported by the Worcester Police Department.
The scene inside was a narcotics emporium, with heroin and fentanyl packed for street sale, a stash of crystal-clear meth, and a rifle that was not just for show. In the room stood Mark Moriarty, 35, clearly not the hero that his namesake would suggest, now slapped with an assortment of charges, including trafficking in a Class A substance and possession of ammunition without an FID card, as the Worcester PD detailed in their release.
Moriarty faces various weapon and drug charges; his life is now tangled in the web of the judicial system after officers found the contraband. Thirty-two-year-old Kerdinand Fuentes, forty-one-year-old Hector Feliciano, and thirty-six-year-old Kayla Ganung were placed under arrest too, swept up for outstanding warrants, but perhaps grateful that the inventory of their lives did not include narcotics and firearms.
