Traffic Stop in Whatley, MA Yields Heroin Seizure, Arrests

A traffic stop on Route 91 in the small western Massachusetts town of Whatley resulted in two arrests and over 1000 packets of heroin.
At 12:20 a.m. on Friday, May 7, Trooper Tyler Hersom, assigned to the Massachusetts State Police-Northampton Barracks was on patrol on Route 91 in Whatley. While traveling northbound, Trooper Hersom’s attention was drawn to a blue Chevy Equinox veering in and out of its lane. It was then that Trooper Hersom turned on his blue lights and initiated a motor vehicle stop.
Trooper Hersom noticed the passenger moving around and repositioning her body as the vehicle slowed. Trooper Hersom then approached the vehicle and made contact with the operator, Tommy Newhall, 37, of Chester, VT. When Trooper Hersom directed Newhall to produce his license and registration, Newhall ignored the repeated instructions. As the traffic stop continued, it was revealed that Newhall was not licensed to operate a motor vehicle. Around this time, Trooper Hersom was joined at the scene by Trooper Brendan O’Brien.
