Just before 6pm Friday evening Fairhaven Police Detectives, working with Mattapoisett Police Detectives, arrested 28 year old Zachary Lovegrove after executing a search warrant at his residence, located at 344 ½ Main Street apartment 2S, Fairhaven. Lovegrove, who was free on $10,000.00 bail for trafficking in heroin and unlawful possession of a firearm, was charged with trafficking in heroin, possession of heroin and possession of cocaine. During the search of Lovegrove’s apartment, investigators seized over $200.00 in cash, a cell phone, a digital scale, a small amount of cocaine and over 40 grams of heroin.
This is the second time Fairhaven Detectives arrested Lovegrove for trafficking in heroin. On November 4, 2016 Lovegrove was arrested by Fairhaven Detectives, working with members of the Bristol County Sheriffs Office South Coast Anti Crime Team. During that arrest, Lovegrove was charged with trafficking heroin, possession with intent to distribute a class C substance and possession with intent to distribute a class B substance. Investigators seized over $1,000.00 in cash, 164 doses of Xanax, 32 Suboxone strips and over 18 grams of heroin.
At the time of Lovegrove’s November 2016 arrest, he was free on $10,000.00 bail for trafficking heroin and unlawful possession of a firearm, which he was charged with in 2015. During this most recent arrest, Lovegrove was once again free from jail on $10,000.00 bail for the November 2016 heroin trafficking charges filed against him by the Fairhaven Police Department.
After being booked, Lovegrove was transported to the Ash Street Jail, where he was held pending arraignment. He will be arraigned in Third District Court this week.
