On Monday, October 20, 2025, officers assigned to District A-1 (Downtown) arrested Mark Dioguardi, 37, of Revere, on multiple drug trafficking charges.
At approximately 10:30 p.m., an officer patrolling the area of 41 Bowdoin Street observed a man standing inside the entrance of the building, using his cell phone and looking toward Cambridge Street. The individual then walked toward 13 Bowdoin Street, and sat on the front steps of the private property.
These actions prompted the officer to approach and conduct a stop. During the investigation, the officer recovered a large plastic bag containing sixteen individually wrapped bags of fentanyl, totaling approximately 10 grams. In addition, officers seized $231 in U.S. currency, a digital scale, and drug packaging materials.
