Braintree Man Faces Drug, Weapons Charges After Hull Search Warrant

HULL, MA — A Braintree man is charged with drug trafficking and weapon charges after he was arrested in Hull on Sept. 18.

Timothy Lesslie, 41, of Braintree, is charged with heroin trafficking, drug possession, possession with intent to distribute and two weapons charges.

Around 1:47 p.m. on Sept. 18, Hull Police detectives conducted surveillance in connection with an ongoing drug investigation in which they had obtained a search warrant from Hingham District Court, officials said.

Following the surveillance, officers and detectives conducted a motor vehicle stop of a gray 2019 Subaru Impreza on Hull Shore Drive.

The driver, identified as Lesslie, was taken into custody without incident while police investigated and executed the search warrant on the car.

During a search of the vehicle, detectives found a green gym-style bag located in the trunk. The bag was secured with a combination lock and contained multiple compartments, as well as a case, officials said.

Inside the case, detectives found what appeared to be illegal narcotics packaged in a manner consistent with street-level distribution, officials said.

Hull Police detectives found multiple clear plastic baggies containing heroin, additional baggies containing crack cocaine and one bag containing hallucinogenic mushrooms.

During the investigation, police seized 18 grams of heroin, 12 grams of cocaine, 6 grams of mushrooms, 3 grams of methamphetamine and 1 gram of Adderall. A further search of the vehicle yielded a pair of brass knuckles and a green stun gun, as well as other drug trafficking paraphernalia.

Lesslie was booked at the Hull Police station and held at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility on $40,000 bail pending his arraignment on Friday in Hingham District Court.
