Year-long investigation nets two suspects, cocaine

Two men -- one from Bristol the other Fall River -- are scheduled for arraignment Monday after a year-long drug trafficking investigation led to their arrests along with the seizure of two kilograms of cocaine.

Carlos Evangelista, 33, of Bristol and Peter Ferland, 33, of Fall River are charged with trafficking more than 200 grams of cocaine and conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act, according to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office in Massachusetts.

The investigation spanned two states and involved a handful of agencies, including the Massachusetts State Police, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, the Fairhaven Police Department, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and the New England State Police Information Network.

Evangelista and Ferland were arrested yesterday and are being held without bail. They are scheduled for arraignment Monday in Fall River District Court.
