A pile of Obamacare heroin has been retrieved in a major drug bust by Massachusetts State Police early Friday morning. However, everyone is now wondering about the truth behind this thing that has made headlines.
To be exact, this Obamacare heroin is simply heroin stamped with red "Obamacare" labels. According to the Facebook page of the Massachusetts State Police, they retrieved more than 1,000 bags of this heroin in the area of Route 91 in Northampton when a vehicle was on a traffic stop. It was Massachusetts State Police Trooper Joseph Petty who noticed the car since it committed several violations.
Police statements revealed that the vehicle was stopped in Hatfield, a town about 30 miles north of Enfield, Connecticut. Police found 1,259 bags of heroin inside the car. What's shocking is that most of the bags were stamped with "Obamacare" while some were labeled "Kurt Cobain." Officials claimed that these drugs were not at all related to both the federal health care overhaul and the dead rock star.
The incident led to the arrest of 23-year-old Tyler Robenstein of Colchester, Vermont, 22-year-old Marquese Jones and 24-year-old Sherod Green of Newark, New Jersey, and 21-year-old Ashley Beaulieu also from Colchester, Vt.
Robenstein was charged with "trafficking of heroin, conspiracy to violate the drug laws, possession to distribute a Class A substance, speeding, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and failure to change lanes for an emergency vehicle. Meanwhile the other three passengers were charged with "trafficking of heroin, conspiracy to violate the drug laws, and possession to distribute a Class A substance."
All four individuals are expected to appear in the Northampton District Court.
