Suspects Arraigned After Drug Lab Discovered In Framingham

WOBURN – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan has announced that Tara Sandler, 31, of Hudson, and Kevin Sullivan, 28, of Natick were arraigned today on charges of distribution of a Class B substance (manufacturing), possession of an electric stun gun, trespassing, and a municipal ordinance violation. Middlesex District Court Judge Douglas Stoddart set bail at $6500 cash for Sandler and revoked bail on an active case, and set bail at $5500 cash for Sullivan, declining to revoke bail in an active case involving Sullivan. The next scheduled hearing for Sandler and Sullivan is Monday, May 11.

Authorities say a tip led them to a property on Meadow Street in Framingham on Monday, April 13, where the defendants were found at a tent site along with items which appear to be used in “cooking” methamphetamine. Police officers also found items generally associated with a drug manufacturing operation: a torch, gas generator, scale, funnels, and several chemicals, including, muriatic acid, ammonium nitrate, and sodium hydroxide. In addition, police officers found methamphetamine on the site along with an electronic stun gun and a machete.

This incident is being investigated by the Framingham Police Department.
