The supplied material describes a search warrant for the residence and a police arrest connected to Silva.
The supplied material does not include an itemized description of evidence or the referenced photographs. It also does not include an arraignment date.
A Repeat Address for Peabody Police
Peabody Police first came to 105 Goodale Street in June 2024, when officers conducted a search that led to Silva's arrest. During that earlier raid, the department was assisted by the Northeast Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council SWAT Team, the Animal Rescue League of Boston, and animal control officers from Lynnfield and Revere, as reported by Patch.
Silva was charged following that 2024 warrant with possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance and animal cruelty, according to Patch. The supplied sources do not establish whether he later pleaded guilty or how the newer allegations compare with that earlier case.
