Police Find Assorted Drugs at Troubled East Broadway Home, Says Report

An East Broadway home recently experienced its second drug bust in three months, according to a Somerville police report.

Somerville police on May 1 found cocaine, heroin, marijuana, Suboxone pills and drug paraphernalia at 164 Broadway, according to the report. On January 30, police conducted a drug raid at the same home, allegedly finding marijuana, ammunition and holsters.

According to the police report, investigators had put the home under surveillance on May 1, and they observed a 19 year-old Chelsea man, McKenny Pierre, conduct what looked like drug deals with a "notorious heroin user" and a 22-year-old Somerville resident, Dillon Hughes, of 19 Hancock St.

When police pulled over Hughes at 366 Broadway, they found three baggies of heroin, the report says.

After arresting Hughes, police entered 164 Broadway, where they found Pierre, Joseph Flynn, 21, with no listed address, and Derrick Pannesi, 18, of Medford, according to the report.

Flynn had previously been arrested in connection to the Jan. 30 raid of the home, and the report says he had a bedroom at the residence.

The report says police found Pierre with four bags of heroin and a bag of marijuana and Flynn with 10 bags of heroin and a bag of cocaine.

When they executed a search warrant at home, police found about 23 grams of cocaine, several Suboxone pills and drug paraphernalia, according to the report.

Hughes was charged with drug possession and conspiracy to violate drug law. Pierre was charged with drug possession, drug violation near a school, conspiracy to violate drug law, drug distribution and resisting arrest. Flynn was charged with drug possession, conspiracy to violate drug law and cocaine trafficking. Pannesi was charged with cocaine trafficking, conspiracy to violate drug law and being present where heroin is kept.
