Massachusetts State Police pulled over a driver in Worcester after spotting a missing inspection sticker. After that, police discovered the driver was operating the car with a revoked license and there was an active warrant for his passenger. Police brought both men to the Millbury station.
While at the station, the passenger, Timothy A. LaBuff, 37, of Webster, kicked off his right sneaker, revealing 24.8 grams of heroin inside seven small bags.
