BOSTON — A Mattapan man was arrested Tuesday on drug trafficking charges following the execution of a search warrant.
Rudy Martinez, 30, was taken into custody by officers from the Boston Police Department’s Drug Control Units in District E-13 (Jamaica Plain) and B-3 (Mattapan).
At about 2:30 p.m., officers conducting a drug investigation executed a search warrant at 415 River St. in Mattapan.
Upon entering the apartment, officers observed a removed window screen.
Officers saw Martinez walking toward his vehicle before he fled on foot toward Blue Hill Avenue.
He was quickly apprehended and placed in handcuffs.
A search of the apartment yielded multiple plastic bags containing fentanyl and crack cocaine, along with drug packaging materials, manufacturing equipment, and two digital scales.
Martinez faces charges of trafficking Class A drugs (85 grams of fentanyl) and trafficking Class B drugs (25 grams of cocaine).
He is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.
