The alleged distribution occurs from his basement apartment located at 197 Summer St., Somerville, MA 02143. This investigation was launched upon receiving multiple complaints from concerned citizens stating that there was alleged drug activity taking place from this residence. Detectives were able to confirm this information through intelligence and cooperation from a confidential source.

At the conclusion of this drug investigation, a search warrant application was requested by me, Detective Goncalves, at the Somerville District Court by Clerk XXXX on Friday, December 21st, 2018. This search warrant (1810-SW-0060) was granted by the court authorizing the search of the following:

I explained to Mr. Leao that we had a search warrant for his person as well for his residence. Mr. Leao provided us with the keys to his apartment and we entered the residence.

During the execution of the search warrant Detectives found 40 grams of psychedelic mushrooms and 1.125 pounds of Marijuana. Also inside the residence were several items common with that of the distribution of narcotics. These items included a box of glassine baggies and (2) empty one pound sealable bags. While searching Mr. Leaos vehicle, which was located inside the garage, Detectives found approximately $615 in US currency inside his wallet. In the center console was a small digital scale as well as a small glassine baggie of Marijuana weighing approximately 40 grams.
