Police: Woman Charged with Trespassing, Drug Possession on Congress Street

A woman in a Dunkin' Donuts was charged with drug possession after she was asked to leave the store. 

Boston Police responded to a report of drug activity near 1 Congress St. at about 1:24 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 12.

Officers recognized several people known for loitering in the Dunkin' Donuts. Officers told the group that if they weren’t buying anything, they had to go.

At this time, the group left except for one woman. She reportedly told police that she wasn’t going to buy anything and that she was looking for something.

Officers told the woman that she was loitering and had to leave. The woman began jumping up and down and officers heard what they thought were pills rattling in a pill bottle. Officers asked the sound was, and the woman told police that the medication was hers.

The woman then pulled out a bottle of pills with no name on them. Officers asked where she got them and the woman said that they belonged to her boyfriend and she just took them.

Officers arrested Lauren Sullivan of 24 Spring St., Everett and charged her with trespassing and possession of a Class E substance.
