At 12:14 a.m. Thursday, BPD Patrol Officer John Gardiner stopped a black Hyundai Sedan with a defective headlight near 25 Iyannough Rd. and located a spring-loaded knife on the operator, Connor Gustowski, 24, of Hyannis.
Upon further investigation, Gardiner discovered evidence of drug possession and distribution involving Gustowski and his two female passengers, 41-year-old Lesley Townsend of West Yarmouth and 29-year-old Olivia Ryan of Hyannis.
Officer Gardiner seized two hypodermic syringes containing liquid heroin, and approximately 2 grams of crack cocaine.

Police reportedly executed a search warrant at a residence on Monday and found about 65 grams of a substance that tested positive for the powerful drug.
