Barnstable Narcotics Detectives have arrested three people at the center of a lengthy Fentanyl distribution investigation.
Brian Whittemore, 56, of Skating Rink Rd in Hyannis, Jason McCarthy, 37, of New Bedford, and Jennifer Boucher, 43, also of New Bedford, were all charged with Trafficking Fentanyl. Boucher was also charged with Possession of Cocaine with intent to distribute.
The three month investigation by Barnstable Detectives involved extensive surveillance and several undercover purchases.
Detectives made the arrests Wednesday following a drug deal between Whittemore and McCarthy in Hyannis. Detectives seized 11 grams of Fentanyl on Whittemore and more than $900 from McCarthy. Boucher was a passenger in McCarthy’s vehicle and was in possession of three baggies of crack cocaine.
