PITLER was taken into custody without incident. He was arraigned Tuesday, July 14 at Uxbridge District Court and bail was set at $5,000.

“I’d like to thank the citizens who contacted police when they noticed suspicious activity. We always encourage our residents to call the department’s main line or anonymous tip line to help us in our efforts to protect the community,” Chief Gilmore said. “Our officers on scene did an excellent job taking the information they had, developing it into a solid case and arresting the suspect without incident. Our department continues to work very hard to uphold the laws of the Commonwealth during these trying times, and to get this amount of harmful substances off the street is a tremendous result.”
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
