An investigation has resulted in a major drug bust in Springfield.
Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni says over 30 pounds of cocaine, 14-thousand fentanyl pills, a gun and 190-thousand-dollars in counterfeit cash was seized as the result of a search of the suspect's residence and vehicle a few days before Christmas.
"We continue our relentless focus on the area's most dangerous and lethal individuals. This very significant narcotics supplier to both the Knox Street and Sycamore Street gangs is a continuation of our efforts in arresting, disrupting, and dismantling these highly dangerous and lethal drug trafficking organizations, who drive fear and violence in our community.” District Attorney Gulluni also stated: "We have begun educating the public on the dangers of pills containing fentanyl and how they are causing a rash of overdoses across the Commonwealth. With this interception of almost 14,000 of these pills, countless overdoses were surely prevented."
Fifty-one-year-old Alonzo Williams is being held on multiple charges.
He's due back on court later this month.
