Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On June 8, Antonio Laboy, 25 of  Springfield, was arraigned in Berkshire Superior Court for possession of heroin with intent to distribute, subsequent offense and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, subsequent offense.
 
According to a report from the district attorney's office, Laboy was present during the execution of a search warrant on a North Adams residence that is a part of an active investigation for narcotics distribution. Further investigation alleges that in combination with items sized during the search of the residence, Laboy was a participant in the narcotics distribution.
 
District Attorney Shugrue highlighted the pattern within the last month of large quantities of drugs, some already prepared for distribution, flowing from Springfield to North Adams. He was referring to Antonio Vega's arraignment for charges of trafficking cocaine and heroin that occurred on May 24, 2023.
 
The Commonwealth requested Laboy be held on $25,000 bail. The Honorable Judge Flannery set bail at $15,000. Laboy has since posted bail.
 
Assistant District Attorney Rachel Eramo represented the Commonwealth.

DALTON, Mass. — Although spring has long come and gone, that does not mean decluttering has to wait until next year. 
 
The town will soon offer programming to help residents of Dalton and the surrounding areas declutter their homes. 
 
These are great programs, the town's Health Agent Health Agent Agnes Witkowski said. 
 
On Thursday, Sept. 19, there will be a decluttering workshop at the Dalton Free Public Library. During the workshop, former teacher Jane Kavanau will demonstrate seven techniques to tackle clutter and stay organized.
 
"As a former real estate agent, she has seen the pitfalls of having a disorganized home and mind," the flyer says. 
 
"She believes that each person and situation is different, requiring that organizing strategies be flexible and simple — definitely not "one size fits all."
