A Roslindale man was arrested after a search warrant allegedly yielded 24 plastic bags of crack from a Washington Street apartment.

On Feb. 22 around 11:14 a.m., James A. Frederick, of 3964 Washington St. #2, Roslindale, was arrested and charged on possession of drugs with the intent to distribute.
