The street value of these drugs were over $91,700 dollars that could have poisoned our communities.
Cuellar's criminal charges included the Distribution and Trafficking of Co***ne over the 200 plus grams range as well as subsequent offenses for these crimes.
Cuellar was previously convicted for Trafficking in Co***ne and illegally possessing of firearms/am******on in Middlesex Superior Court and received 5-7 years committed sentence in 2019 and was also on parole in Massachusetts for the similar co***ne charges.
Clinton Police Det/1st Sgt Miguel Martinez stated, “It was another great example of drug dealers not having jurisdictional boundaries and Law Enforcement’s drug units committed response to stopping these dangerous drugs from entering our communities. We are very grateful for our relationships with our Local, State, and Federal authorities who working together made this another successful investigation.”
