LEOMINSTER — On Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, the Leominster District Court granted a search warrant to the Leominster Police Department authorizing the search of Euripides Jovani Cabrera-Colon and garages 2 and 3 located at 107 Union Street that are under Cabrera-Colon’s control.
According to the Leominster Police Department’s Statement of Facts, the search warrant was granted after Cabrera-Colon sold a Class B substance to a confidential source on three separate occasions from his garages on Union Street.
According to court documents, Cabrera-Colon is 36 years old and resides at 50 Anna Drive, Apt. F, in Fitchburg.
On Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2023, at approximately 9 a.m., members of the Drug Enforcement Administration High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Federal Drug Task Force and the North Worcester County Drug Task Force executed the search warrant.
Police located and seized the following from Cabrera-Colon’s garages:
- 121 grams (gross weight) of pink powdery heroin-fentanyl
- 54.97 grams (gross weight) of green pills, also heroin-fentanyl
- 447.44 grams (gross weight) of methamphetamine in the form of orange powder and orange oval methamphetamine pills pressed into the appearance of 30 milligram Adderall tabs, with the markings “30” on one side and “b over 974” on the other side.
- 1,162.56 grams (gross weight) of white crystalized methamphetamine
- 1 motorized pill/tablet press
- 1 five-kilogram bag of Firmapress (a pill binder) containing orange powder
- 1 very large bag (unable to weigh) of a white powdery substance believed to be Inositol (pill filler)
- 2 scales
- 1 box of sandwich bags
The Leominster Police Department said in its Statement of Facts for the incident that “having this amount of narcotics in one’s possession along with the scales and sandwich bags is consistent with the intent to distribute. Possessing a motorized pill/tablet press along with the orange Firmapress powder and the very large bag of suspected Inositol is consistent with manufacturing massive amounts of press methamphetamine pills.”
Cabrera-Colon was arrested, transported to the Leominster Police Department and charged with the following:
- Trafficking of a Class B substance, 200 grams or more (methamphetamine)
- Possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance (methamphetamine)
- Manufacturing of a Class B substance (methamphetamine)
- Trafficking of a Class A substance, 100 grams or more, less than 200 grams (heroin-fentanyl)
- Possession with intent to distribute a Class A substance (heroin-fentanyl)
According to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Probation Department’s Court Activity Record Information for Cabrera-Colon, he has been arrested three times since 2015, two of the cases were dismissed. The specifics of the arrests and court dispositions are as follows:
- On October 8, 2015, Cabrera-Colon was arrested by the Bellingham Police for operating a vehicle with a suspended license. The Milford District Court dismissed the case on 11/13/15
- On April 24, 2018, Lunenburg police arrested Cabrera-Colon and charged him with conspiracy to violate the controlled substances act and trafficking a controlled substance, 200 grams or more. On Sept. 13, 2018, the case disposition out of Fitchburg District Court for the charges was listed as “DISM INDICT” which means the case filed in Fitchburg District Court was dismissed because Cabrera-Colon was indicted by a grand jury in Worcester Superior Court.
