LYNN, MASS. (WHDH) - Two men are facing drug and weapons charges after police say they found several small plastic bags containing what is believed to be heroin or fentanyl and an illegal gun in the car during a traffic stop on Route 107 in Lynn Wednesday evening.
A trooper patrolling the area stopped a gray Dodge Durango with Virginia plates for speeding and arrested 21-year-old Shondel Holloway, of Lynn, and his passenger, 21-year-old Kemoni Boone, of Malden, after a search of the vehicle uncovered a black semi-automatic pistol with a high-capacity magazine, ammunition, the drugs, and a scale, according to Massachusetts State Police.
