Medford Woman Arrested in Peabody Drug Raid

Community tips and a three-month investigation led to the arrest of six people on Friday evening at an alleged house of illicit activity at 9 Dark Lane.

The residential house on Dark Lane is alleged to have been the site of heroin and cocaine activity as well as prostitution, according to Peabody police officials.

A search warrant was executed at the house around 7 p.m. on Friday as the result of anonymous tips through the MyPD app and the investigation, which was assisted by Salem police and the FBI Human Trafficking Division.

Those arrested in the raid were: David Fernandes, 23, of Roxbury; Nicole Marcellino, 31, of Medford; Judith Deandrade, 31, of Peabody; Dawn Spur, 48, of Peabody; Jessica Marino, 28, of North Adams; Meaghan Furey, 29, of Lynn.

The six are due to be arraigned in Peabody District Court on Monday morning. Each individual is facing heroin charges. Additionally, Spur is facing sex trafficking charges.

“I am extremely pleased, once again, with the close contact the community has displayed in reaching out to members of our department in assisting with the riddance of such types despicable acts,” said Peabody Police Chief Thomas Griffin. “This is proof that we have zero tolerance for any disruptive activities within our residential and business areas.”
