SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On 02/06/2021, Officers received a report of a suspicious vehicle at Dunkin Donuts. While responding I saw the vehicle drive by me going up Eastern Avenue as I was going down. I turned around and followed the vehicle to Maplefields where it came to rest. I spoke with Nathan Bragg, who identified himself to me and asked him about the open containers and needle in his vehicle. Bragg was run through the Standard Field Sobriety Tests and then was arrested for an Instate Warrant. Bragg also consented to a search of his vehicle. Ofc Robert Gerrish found a small Silver container that contained a red substance inside, similar to Buprenorphine. While searching incident to arrest, I found a bindle of red baggies hidden inside his hat. Two of the three baggies field-tested positive for the chemical makeup of Fentanyl. Bragg was arrested for his in-state warrant, 2 counts of drug possession, and 2 counts of violation of conditions of release for having possession of 2 regulated drugs.
