Tewksbury Drug Bust Nabs Six

TEWSKBURY -- A drug raid on a Tewksbury home on Shawsheen Street Tuesday night netted Tewksbury detectives six arrests, including two men who were each held on more than $100,000 cash bail each after it was discovered they had been in default for months, if not years. on pending drug charges.

Tewksbury police say they conducting drug surveillance of a house at 721 Shawsheen St. when they saw a drug transaction outside the home. After a motor vehicle stop and a search of the home, narcotics were recovered and the arrests were made.

In Lowell District Court on Wednesday, one of the suspects in the car, Genaro Bonilla, 47 of Pelham, N.H. was charged with distribution of a class a substance, heroin, distribution of a class b substance, cocaine, failure to stop for police and a marked lanes violation.

Judge Sarah Weyland Ellis set Bonilla's bail at $100,000 cash in the Tewksbury case and an additional $100,000 cash after prosecutors allege Bonilla has been in default on a 2004 case under an alias.

Detectives noted that they were initially unable to check Bonilla's identity due to what appeared to be "mutilated'' fingertips. But using a new test, they discovered an alias and a comparison of the booking photos confirmed it, prosecutors allege.

The other suspect in the car, Jeison Diaz-Adujar, 25, of Lawrence was charged by Tewksbury police with distribution of a class a substance, heroin, distribution of a class b substance, cocaine and providing a false name to police.

He had two warrants and an Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer.

The first warrant was for trafficking heroin over 18 grams and trafficking cocaine over 18 grams. The second warrant was for a 2016 Middlesex Superior Court case where he was indicted for trafficking cocaine over 18 grams, trafficking fentanyl over 10 grams and providing a false name to police.

Ellis ordered the $10,000 cash bail Diaz-Adujar posted in the trafficking case forfeited, then set a $150,000 cash bail on the superior court case and an additional $100,000 cash bail on the Tewksbury charges.

Inside the home, Tewksbury police arrested Sean Seeley, 20, of North Reading, David Gosnell, 45, of North Reading and Thomas Gosnell, 47, of Raymond N.H.

Each man was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty in Lowell District Court on Wednesday to possession of a class b substance, cocaine.

Desmond O’Loughlin, 50, who lives at the 721 Shawsheen St, address was arrested for possession of a class a substance, heroin and possession of a class b substance, cocaine. In court, O'Loughlin, who is a convicted sex offender with a four-page record, had his bail set at $500 cash bail.

All six suspects are due back in court on May 5 for pretrial conferences.
