A trooper who stopped a black Toyota Celica on Route 91 North about 4:50 a.m. arrested Anna MacKenzie, 32, Graham Jacob, 26, and Christopher Magoon, 26, all of Barre, Vermont, after a search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded 9mm black Beretta, and 148 bags of heroin, according to state police.
MacKenzie was charged with possessing a Class A substance and conspiracy to violate drug laws.
Jacob was charged with possessing a Class A substance, conspiracy to violate drug laws, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Magoon was charged with possessing a Class A substance, conspiracy to violate drug laws, and tampering with evidence.
All three were arraigned Wednesday in Greenfield District Court.
