Per CBS News:
A member of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey’s staff has been fired after he was arrested on drug and gun charges.
Lamar Cook was arrested after state police executed a search warrant at his office in Springfield, according to the Hampden District Attorney. Cook, 45, of Springfield, was the Deputy Director of the governor’s western Massachusetts office.
Investigators said they seized about eight grams of “suspected cocaine” during a delivery at Cook’s office on Dwight Street Saturday.
Police found Cook driving Tuesday evening in Springfield and arrested him. He’s charged with cocaine trafficking and unlawful possession of a gun and ammunition.
He’s due to be arraigned Wednesday in Springfield District Court. Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said Cook’s arrest is also linked to two suspicious packages that were seized at the Hotel UMass in Amherst on October 10. Those packages had “approximately 13 kilograms of suspected cocaine,” Gulluni’s office said.
According to Cook’s LinkedIn page, he joined the governor’s office in 2023 and was tasked with overseeing “government initiatives and policies in 4 counties.”
After news broke of Cook’s arrest, a spokesperson for Governor Healey stated, “Mr. Cook has been terminated from his position effective immediately. This criminal investigation is ongoing, and our administration will work with law enforcement to assist them in their work.”
In recent months, Gov. Healey has been very critical of ICE after agents conducted raids in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
Her policies since being elected have repeatedly placed illegal aliens first above U.S. citizens in her state.
Last year, she made the controversial decision to turn a former veteran’s shelter into a house for illegal aliens.
