HYANNIS — A Yarmouth man was arrested Tuesday after police seized more than a kilogram of cocaine during a multi-agency operation on Cape Cod.
Italo Dumont, 37, was taken into custody in Hyannis at 3 p.m. following a months-long investigation by the Barnstable Police Department Detective Unit.
Authorities found more than 85 grams of cocaine on Dumont at the time of his arrest, according to police.
A subsequent search of Dumont’s Yarmouth residence yielded over 1,000 grams of cocaine and a large sum of U.S. currency.
The operation involved collaboration between the Barnstable Police Department Detective and K-9 units, Massachusetts State Police Gang Unit, Cape & Island’s State Police Detective Unit, Yarmouth Police Department, Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office, and the Drug Enforcement Administration Cape Cod Task Force.
Dumont was charged with trafficking a Class B substance, cocaine, over 36 grams but less than 100 grams, as well as trafficking a Class B substance, cocaine, over 200 grams.
He is being held at the Barnstable Police Department on $100,000 cash bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Barnstable District Court on Wednesday.
