A Fall River man was charged with felony drug possession after Tiverton Police found several bags of heroine in his wallet.
Tiverton Police arrested a 25-year-old Massachusetts man for possession of heroine after he was stopped for not wearing his seat belt on Stafford Road.
Cristovao Aguiar, 25, of 516 Whipple St. Apt. 3, Fall River, MA, was arrested on Friday, July 6 at 11:31 p.m. and charged with possession of a controlled substance, driving with the presence of alcohol in his vehicle, and driving without a license.
