Wareham Police arrest a Fall River man wanted on narcotics charges.
Chief Walter Correia Jr. says 39-year-old Manuel Pina-Agee had a Commonwealth of Massachusetts arrest warrant, and a US Marshalls’ federal probation detainer arrest warrant in connection with an investigation which identified him as the narcotic “supplier,” for Taylor Fernandes who was arrested by Wareham detectives in February.
Police say Pina-Agee was involved in illegal activity all while being on federal probation.
He was previously arrested with drug trafficking and firearms violations in 2019, as a result of “Operation Gatekeeper” which was a joint investigation conducted by Wareham Police and the Drug Enforcement Agency.
The operation also lead to the arrest of five co-defendants.
He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Wareham Fourth 4th District Court.
