Sebastien Bejin, 34, of Lynn, also known as "Bash," pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of distributing and possessing controlled substances. The plea comes after a major law enforcement operation uncovered his involvement in a large drug trafficking organization in Massachusetts. Bejin's sentencing is scheduled for May 1, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Authorities uncovered a major drug ring supplying fentanyl and methamphetamine to Massachusetts' North Shore. The investigation, which started after a July 2023 overdose in Salem, led to the seizure of over $7 million in drugs, including fentanyl-laced pink pills. Bejin, Emilio Garcia, and Deiby Felix were arrested, with Garcia and Felix indicted by a federal grand jury in December. The operation involved distributing large amounts of drugs to dealers, and authorities seized 198 pounds of fentanyl and methamphetamine during the investigation, as reported by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Felix Bejin and his co-accused were arrested after a joint investigation found over 6.6 pounds of methamphetamine and fentanyl pills at Bejin’s home, along with a firearm and a drug lab in the basement. The charges include possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy, which could lead to 10 years to life in prison, fines up to $250,000, and supervised release. The investigation was led by the FBI and local authorities. The accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty, as stated by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
