LYNN — Ralph Viglione was busted for cocaine trafficking Thursday.
Viglione, 30, of Lynn, was walking his pitbull when the Lynn Police Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at his 36 Whiting St. home, convinced they would find drugs, Lynn Police Lt. Rick Donnelly said.
“Detectives of the task force waited to see Viglione outside of his house walking the dog and then approached him and informed him about the search warrant,” Donnelly said. “Viglione was cooperative with the detectives and secured his dog and allowed them into his apartment.”
Officers seized 30 grams of cocaine, valued at $3,000, 15 ounces of marijuana, worth between $1,400 and $3,500 depending upon the quality, 30 Percocet pills, valued at $900, five Suboxone strips, 32 rounds of 9mm firearm ammunition and $2,781 in cash, Donnelly said.
Viglione was charged with cocaine trafficking, marijuana possession with intent to distribute, percocet and suboxone possession, and unlawful possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card.
