Nantucket Man Arrested On Cocaine Trafficking Charges

A Nantucket man is facing drug trafficking charges. Barnstable Police arrested 62-year-old Edward Gillespie as he was allegedly preparing to transport a kilo of cocaine from Hyannis to Nantucket.

Police say a search warrant on Gillespie's home yielded additional quantities of cocaine, amphetamines and around ten-thousand-dollars in cash.

Gillespie was arraigned on Friday, and he remains held pending a dangerousness hearing.
