Georgia woman gets decade in prison for smuggling 12 lbs. of meth to Mass. in dog food bag
A Georgia woman has been sentenced to a decade in prison for smuggling 12 pounds of meth to Massachusetts by hiding it in a large dog food bag, the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. In January 2025, 28-year-old Brooke Logan Paniagua pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense in connection with the incident, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a press release. Paniagua worked for a drug trafficking organization that brings illegal substances into the U.S. from Mexico, the U.S. Attorney's office said. Federal investigators began investigating her in September 2022 after the organization informed a confidential source that a woman would be transporting 12 pounds of meth from Georgia to Massachusetts. Paniagua called the source to coordinate a meeting time and location at which the source would buy the drugs from her, explaining that the meth was hidden inside a 50-pound bag of dog food, the U.S. Attorney's office said. When she arrived at the location, she notified the source, but she was soon intercepted by police. Investigators found a large, partially opened back of dog food with five plastic containers filled with 12.3 pounds of 97% pure meth in Paniagua's car, the U.S. Attorney's office said. They also discovered a .22-caliber handgun loaded with eight rounds in her back pocket during a search of her person. On May 14, a federal judge sentenced Paniagua to 10 years in prison and four years of supervised release, the U.S. Attorney's office said. `All Access PD: Grand Rapids' episode 7, how to stream tonight for free Mass. lawyer to plead guilty to embezzling millions from relatives, business associate Assumption University student agrees to plead guilty to cyber-extorting companies Boston man charged in connection with sexual assault in the North End Police ID Belmont man in connection with hatchet assault in road rage incident Read the original article on MassLive.

Police arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection with stealing a car from Wakefield before crashing into a dumpster and running off on foot, prompting a nearby Malden school to shelter in place on Wednesday, Malden police said. At around 10 a.m., Malden police were notified that a person driving a stolen car from Wakefield was in the area, Malden Police Capt. Marc Gatcomb told MassLive. After a failed traffic stop, the car drove into a pedestrian walkway in the area of Mountain Avenue and struck a dumpster, Gatcomb said. Officers were able to obtain surveillance footage that showed the teenager, dressed in black, run from the car. With the help of Massachusetts State Police and a K9 unit, a perimeter around the area was set up, Gatcomb said. Malden police previously said that an increased police presence and a police helicopter were in the area looking for the person. The boy was later found and arrested, Gatcomb said.
