Brockton Man Facing Drug Trafficking Charges

BROCKTON, MA — Brockton police seized over $40,000 worth of crack cocaine and fentanyl during a raid on Tuesday.

Max Sanders, 27, of Brockton was arrested on drug trafficking charges after State Police obtained a search warrant of his apartment at 244 Warren Ave.

Police say they found 261 grams of crack cocaine, 75 grams of fentanyl, and over $3,000 in cash during their search.

"Tuesday's raid resulted in us taking drugs with a street value of more than $40,000 off the streets," said Lt. Paul Bonanca, who heads the department's criminal investigation division. "It means less money for the drug dealer to reinvest in his cocaine and fentanyl distribution ring and reduces the chance that his victims will overdose on his deadly narcotics."

Brockton police say that by taking drugs off the street, they are saving lives in the process. Detectives arrested Sanders for trafficking ten or more grams of fentanyl and trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine.

If Sanders is convicted on both offenses, he could face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 1/2 years in prison. Both charges carry a maximum of 20 years each.

It is not clear when Sanders will be called to court.
