On Monday, February 9, 2026, officers assigned to the Drug Control Unit of District D-4 (South End) arrested David Myers, 50, of Mattapan, on drug trafficking charges.
While conducting a drug investigation in the area of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street, officers observed a male individual crouch low to the ground, and a female picking up an unknown item from that location. The female was seen placing the item in her mouth and walking away from the area.
Officers began to focus their surveillance on the male individual as a second person now approached him. A similar behavior occurred behind an electrical box in an attempt to conceal their actions. Officers believed that a street level drug transaction had transpired.
