Eight charged in Hampden County's largest cocaine trafficking ring

SPRINGFIELD - A federal drug task force dismantled a 100-kilo-per-year narcotics ring that reared its head in sleepy Southwick and spread across Hampden County in what is being described as the largest bust in county history.

A downtown conference room was pungent with the smell of marijuana and flush with bricks of pure cocaine and piles of $100 bills as law enforcement officials on Wednesday announced details of the bust.

"This is perhaps the most successful investigation we have ever been involved in," said Hampden District Attorney William M. Bennett. "The persons arrested were the persons running the enterprise."

Seven men were arrested over the past two weeks while one, Vito Resto, 31, of 40 Noel St., Springfield, remains at large, Bennett said. The district attorney sought the public's help in finding Resto, whom police consider armed and dangerous.

At large: Vito RestoOthers arrested from Springfield were: Vincent R. Washington, 45, of 180 Whittum Ave., charged with cocaine trafficking in a school zone, and held on $5 million bail; Jay Washington Sr., 60, of 38 Acorn St., charged with the same and held on $1 million bail; Jeffrey Rivera , 36, of 70 Harrison Ave., charged with cocaine trafficking and held on $1 million bail; Ricarte Burgos, 30, of 21 Burke St., charged with cocaine trafficking and held on $1 million bail; Johnier Jiminez, 28, of 347 St. James Ave., charged with cocaine trafficking and held on $50,000 bail; and Corey Palm, 31, of 28 Leatherleaf Drive / 174 Sawmill Drive, charged with drug distribution and held on $20,000 bail. Barry J. Smith, 31, of 100 Lockhouse Road, Westfield, was charged with cocaine trafficking in a school zone, and held on $50,000 bail.

All have been charged in Hampden Superior Court, but Bennett said several will face indictment in U.S. District Court, where penalties for drug crimes can be as high as life in prison.

The investigation showed Rivera had been shipping multiple kilos of cocaine into Springfield through the mail, law enforcement authorities said.

12.23.09 | Staff photo by Michael S. Gordon / The Republican | Hampden District Attorney William M. Bennett announces the arrests at a press conference Wednesday morning.Bennett spoke to reporters from a conference room at TD Bank North with 9 pounds of marijuana, $5 million in pure cocaine and about $25,000 cash laid out on a table in front of him. All were seized during raids in various communities, he said.

Behind him were members of the state police, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and chiefs of police from Palmer, Southwick, Agawam and Springfield, where the drugs were being shipped and sold, he said.

The district attorney said the crackdown originated with tips from police in Southwick and Palmer. No arrests have been made in the outlying communities so far, but officials said the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected.

Both urban and suburban officials called the bust a huge hit at a scourge that affects all communities. "The tentacles reach into the small towns and suburbs, too," said Agawam Chief Robert D. Campbell.

Springfield Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet attributed virtually all of the violent crime in his city to the buffet of contraband laid out before them at the press conference.

"It originates with this product right in front of you," Fitchet said. "That's where the bloodshed comes from. That's where the gun trade comes from. That's where the gang (violence) comes from."

What a waste of resourses. And it does nothing to curb demand. Now the real violence begins while drug dealers fight it out to corner the now open market.

Also notice the lack of any weapons found, no guns no knives nothing, just some dudes trying to make a buck!

So what if it doesn't curb demand. It will never curb demand. They got these guys out of the streets, and that's what counts. I don't know why you guys are hating. These are the guys that are involved in serious shit, that can give the department some serious intel on where there coke is specifically coming from, who's selling it, and where are they manufacturing/selling all the drugs.
