He is two blocks from the Hennessey elementary school, so if he sold out of his house I assume that qualified as "near a school".



No idea about the firearm part, only that this was all the result of a two month long surveillance.

Yeah but it says "manufacturing". There's no mention of a grow operation. And the pictures show dense dark weed. Unlikely that he grew that.

And it says he used a firearm when committing a crime of violence. No mention of a violent crime.

"Distribution and Manufacturing", that covers a wide range of activity involved in the drug trade. I believe that it's basically any step in the process, from planting the seeds to preparing for distribution.



There was cocaine and adderall pills involved as well.

If I recall correctly, the Hell Angels leader (Joseph Lancia) lives in a similar type place out there.

I thought he lived in Scituate.


Edit: Sorry, Smithfield. But I can see why one would lump that whole area together.
