LAWRENCE — Chief James Fitzpatrick reports that the Lawrence Police Department arrested a man Wednesday on gun and weapon charges.

MATTHEW JAKE CAMACHO, 40, of SALEM, N.H. was arrested on the following charges:

  • Carrying a Firearm Without a License
  • Possession of a Dangerous Weapon

On Wednesday, May 17, at approximately 4:50 p.m., an officer was dispatched to West Street for a report of two men who appeared to be under the influence of a controlled substance. Upon their arrival, after a brief conversation, one of the men began walking up West Street toward CAMACHO and appeared to engage in a hand-to-hand transaction with him, though no drugs were found.

CAMACHO did have a knife in his possession, which officers found after searching his person. After he was taken into custody, officers searched CAMACHO’s car and discovered a black handgun and eight blank rounds of ammunition.

“I commend the professionalism our officers displayed during this situation, which resulted in an illegal gun being taken off of our streets,” Chief Fitzpatrick said. “The Lawrence Police Department remains committed to continuing our efforts to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.”

LAWRENCE — Chief James Fitzpatrick reports that the Lawrence Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for a 40-year-old Lawrence man after his 11-year-old child found a large quantity of heroin and fentanyl in their home.

Police responded Wednesday to a home on Ferry Street after the suspect’s son reported that he had found drugs in his father’s belongings and had that he had seen him conducting a drug deal earlier.

An initial investigation, which included a search of luggage belonging to the suspect, yielded 212 grams of heroin and fentanyl packed in multiple plastic bags, as well as several empty bags that typically are used for packaging drugs for sale.

The estimated street value of the drugs seized is approximately $8,500.

“I commend this young man for being brave enough to come forward and report that these dangerous substances were in his home,” Chief Fitzpatrick said. “It is frightening to consider that the drugs the boy found are strong enough to cause serious harm to full grown adults, merely by being in their presence, and to consider what could have happened had he not immediately called for help from law enforcement.”
