CHIEF: Police Arrest Two Major Drug Dealers

WOBURN - Woburn Police and the Southern Middlesex Regional Drug Task Force arrested two men on Thursday on drug charges at an address where there had been numerous drug overdoses over the past several months.

Anthony Catinazzo, 37, of Woburn, and Wilmer Tejeda, 24, of Jamaica Plain were charged with distribution of a Class B drug (Fentanyl). Tejeda was also charged with trafficking in Fentanyl.

As part of an ongoing drug investigation, officers observed Tejeda engage in a drug transaction. Police stopped their car a short distance away and found 19.6 grams on Fentanyl on Tejeda, police allege. Catinazzo was arrested a short time later at his Hudson Place apartment, which has been the scene of numerous drug overdoses in the past year, police allege.

"This was a significant arrest for the City of Woburn, as it has removed two major drug dealers from our streets and put a stop to drug activity in a city neighborhood,'' Woburn Police Chief Robert Ferullo said in a statement.
