LEOMINSTER — On Friday, May 8, 2026, Detective Jonathan Monahan said the Leominster Police Department was granted a search warrant by Leominster District Court authorizing the search of 45-year-old Andrea Miller, her vehicle, and her residence at 56 Laurel Street, to locate and seize Adderall and items related to the distribution of Adderall.

“The search warrant was based on probable cause developed during the investigation into the sale of Adderall by Miller,” Detective Monahan said.
Detective Monahan said that on Monday, May 11, 2026, members of the North Worcester County Drug Task Force (NWCDTF), Worcester House of Corrections, Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit, and the K9 officers from the Gardner and Lunenburg police departments were briefed on the investigation leading to the issuance of the search warrant and the parameters of the search warrant related to the items to be searched for.
“Law enforcement officers (LEOs) were also told that we were to knock and announce our presence and that we were authorized to search any person present,” Detective Monahan said.
Detective Monahan added that all officers involved in executing the search warrant were wearing raid apparel with the word “POLICE” prominently displayed on it.
At approximately 6 a.m. on May 11, police arrived at Miller’s residence.
“Law enforcement knocked and announced our presence and there was no response at the door,” Detective Monahan said. “A forced entry was made into the target residence shortly after 6:00 a.m.”
Detective Monahan said that upon executing the search warrant the following individuals were located in the residence:
- Andrea Miller (target) in the upstairs bedroom
- Miller’s boyfriend, in the upstairs bedroom
“Miller and [Miller’s boyfriend] were escorted to the kitchen in the residence once it was secured,” Detective Monahan said. “I informed Miller that I had a search warrant for her, her residence, and her motor vehicle. I handed the search warrant copies to Miller to view and explained it as well. Miller did not say anything.”
Detective Monahan then read Miller and her boyfriend their Miranda rights off of a printed card he had on his person.
“Miller was asked if she was willing to answer my questions, to which she stated ‘No,’” Detective Monahan said, adding that he ended any further questioning at that time due to Miller’s desire not to speak with police.
Police located and seized the following during their warrant search of Miller, her house, and her motor vehicle:
- Fourteen pink oblong capsules marked AMG 280, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Thirty-eight blue oblong capsules marked G452, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Forty-one yellow/white oblong capsules marked 30mg T, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s in her bedroom.
- Nine and a half orange round pills marked 30, suspected to be pressed methamphetamine, from the trunk of Miller’s motor vehicle.
- Sixty-five blue oblong capsules marked R 3060, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Twenty-seven brown oblong capsules marked G456, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Thirteen green oblong capsules marked AMG 278, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Thirty-seven red oblong capsules marked EL1-515 30mg, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine extended release, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Sixty-three orange round pills marked E 404, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Twenty-seven peach oval pills marked e 504 15, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Two and a half green rectangular pills marked S 90 3, identified as alprazolam, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Forty-eight peach oval pills marked e 505 20, identified as amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Ninety-five blue round pills marked M30, identified as hydrocodone, in a glassine baggie from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- Twenty-seven burnt orange capsule pills marked SG 355, identified as pregabalin, from the trunk of Miller’s motor vehicle.
- $650 in U.S. currency from Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
- $966 in U.S. currency from an end table in Miller’s bedroom.
- Five pill bottles, including two with no labels, two bearing the names Mark Usitalo and Patricia McCreedy, and one bearing the name Andrea Miller. All five pill bottles contained a mixture of the pills listed above and were found in Miller’s pocketbook in her bedroom.
“Based on my training and experience, having this amount of narcotics in one’s possession — in pill bottles with no labels, other people’s names on the labels, and assorted large quantities of mixed pills contained in the bottles, some of which were packaged in glassine baggies for sale, and having pills packaged in glassine baggies inside one’s motor vehicle trunk within a small box — is consistent with the intent to distribute,” Detective Monahan said.
Detective Monahan said $1,616.00 in U.S. currency, alleged to be proceeds from drug distribution, was also seized. The money was found in the following denominations:
- Eight $100 bills
- One $50 bill
- Thirty-three $20 bills
- Six $10 bills
- Six $5 bills
- Sixteen $1 bills
“Based on my training and experience, I know that individuals involved in the illegal sale of drugs will possess money comprised of either large denomination bills or a large quantity of $20.00 bills,” Detective Monahan said. “This is done to simplify keeping track of their money and paying their source of supply when re-supplying their stock of drugs being sold. Furthermore, I know that the most common denomination used in drug transactions is the $20.00 bill and drug prices are often set to allow the use of $20.00 bills and not require change to be paid to the purchaser.”
After police finished executing the search warrant at Miller’s residence, copies of both search warrants were left on the kitchen table.
Police cleared the scene at approximately 7:00 a.m.
Andrea Miller, 45, of Laurel Street in Leominster, was arrested and charged with:
- Twelve counts of possession with intent to distribute a Class B drug, subsequent offense (Adderall and hydrocodone)
- Two counts of possession with intent to distribute a Class E drug, subsequent offense (alprazolam and pregabalin)
“I took custody of all the above listed items and transported them to the Leominster Police Department for evidence processing pursuant to our policy,” Detective Monahan said. “All drug evidence will be forwarded to the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School Drugs of Abuse Laboratory for further analysis. All non-drug evidence was tagged and submitted for safekeeping.”
Miller was arraigned in Leominster District Court on May 11, 2026. Following her arraignment, she was held pending a dangerousness hearing which took place on May 14, 2026.
On June 8, 2026, Miller attended a pretrial conference hearing.
Miller’s next court date is a probable cause hearing scheduled for July 22, 2026.
