Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced that all state-run shelters will be inspected and their policies reviewed after a migrant was found with 10 pounds of fentanyl and a large-capacity rifle.
Leonardo Andujar Sanchez, 28, was arrested in Revere, Mass. on Dec. 27 with an estimated $1 million worth of fentanyl, an AR-15 loaded with .556 ammunition, and three large capacity rifle magazines, the Revere Police Department announced last week .
Sanchez, a Dominican national who immigrated illegally, had been at a hotel-turned-homeless shelter looking for a room when officers caught him.
“This individual endangered occupants of the hotel, on-site workers, public safety personnel and the community at large,” Chief David Callahan said.
“His arrest underscores our commitment to work tirelessly to protect our community from those dealing deadly Fentanyl and possessing illegal firearms,” said Callahan.
