A Boston man has been jailed without bail on multiple drug trafficking charges.
On August 6, the Vermont State Police Drug Task Force and Tactical Services Unit conducted a search warrant at a home in Barton. During the investigation, Elijah Pierre of Boston, Massachusetts, was arrested on narcotic-related charges.
The arrest stemmed from a months-long drug investigation conducted by Detectives with the Vermont Drug Task Force into the distribution of narcotics in the Orleans County area. During the search warrant, fentanyl, cocaine, cocaine base, U.S. currency, and a firearm were recovered. Pierre was arrested and processed at the Vermont State Police Derby Barracks.
Pierre was ordered jailed for lack of $75,000 bail at the Northern State Correctional Facility on charges of sale of cocaine (x2), possession of cocaine, fentanyl trafficking, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Pierre is scheduled to appear for arraignment at 12:30 p.m. August 7, before the Vermont Superior Court, Orleans Criminal Division.
The Vermont Drug Task Force thanks the Vermont State Police, Vermont Highway Patrol, Franklin and Orleans County Sheriff’s Departments, Morristown Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Homeland Security Investigations for their assistance in this investigation.
Pierre is being prosecuted by the Orleans County State’s Attorney’s Office. Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Vermont State Police at 802-334-8811 or submit an anonymous tip via https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

How old is he?
Hopefully, with the firearms component in this case, the Feds will deal sternly with him. I learned when working at a gun shop that you never, ever mess with the Feds, and you cross every every T and dot every i.
I’m glad when criminals who illegally possess and use firearms are dealt sternly with because of how strictly us law abiding citizens had to comply with and conform to stringent federal regulations. Kinda like poachers who take game illegally. Gives a bad name to those of us who abide by the law.
