| By George P. Hassett Drug-unit cops busted a Somerville man Friday after receiving tips from citizens and business owners about drug dealing in Statue Park in Davis Square. They also had some help from a loudmouth friend of the drug suspect. Somerville police investigator James Hyde allegedly overheard an unidentified man tell David Goggin, 44, "I would like to try a sample." | |
"Based on my training and experience I opined that this statement was made in reference to a drug user trying a small amount of a controlled substance to check for quality before making a future drug purchase," Hyde wrote in a police report.
Police watched Goggin take cash from a woman and walk along College Avenue into a parking lot at Winter Street. Police said Goggin made a hand exchange with an occupant in a sport utility vehicle parked in the lot and then walked back to Statue Park.
Police allegedly found heroin, the prescription drug suboxone and other pills on Goggin.
Goggin, of 8 Everett St., was arrested and charged with possession of a class B drug and possession of a class A drug.
