A Woburn man caught with 2,525 grams of fentanyl, 100 grams of OxyCodone and $73,000 in cash, was arraigned Wednesday in Salem Superior Court on an array of drug and weapon charges.

Starling Guerrero was ordered free on $125,000 bail by Judge John Lu, the Eagle-Tribune reports.

Back in October, the 23-year-old was indicted by a statewide grand jury on charges of possession with the intent to distribute drugs, drug trafficking, felony use and possession of a large capacity firearm, and illegal possession of ammunition.

Guerrero was arrested in Andover in June as part of a joint operation involving multiple law enforcement agencies, according to Attorney General Maura Healey.

Following the arrest, authorities executed a search warrant at Guerrero’s home in Woburn, where investigators allege he ran a drug operation. Fentanyl, Oxycodone pills, weapons and cash were all found inside the home.

Guerrero possessed “more than 2,500 grams of pure fentanyl, a drug which is estimated to be 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin,” Healey said.

A confidential informant busted Guerrero after requesting an order of two kilograms of heroin, the newspaper reported.
