A Dominican Republic citizen pleaded guilty this week to possessing seven kilograms of fentanyl and one kilogram of fentanyl and fentanyl analog intended for distribution.
Ana Checo, 42, pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing 400 grams or more of fentanyl with intent to distribute, along with 100 grams or more of valeryl fentanyl, and also to a count of conspiring to launder money.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has ruled in favor of allowing using electric shock devices to address aggressive or self-harming behavior in residents at the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center, a Canton-based institution dedicated to individuals with developmental disabilities and behavioral disorders.
The ruling in Judge Rotenberg Educational Center v. Commissioner of the Department of Developmental Services follows a 2018 lower court decision that found the state acted in bad faith when regulating the center.
