Two men arrested on drug trafficking charges in Stow

Two men arrested on drug trafficking charges in Stow

Two men were arrested in a drug bust in Stow on Friday that allegedly led to the seizure of nearly a pound of cocaine and more than 30 grams of fentanyl, officials said.

Francis Feliz Mejia, 29, of Roxbury, faces charges of trafficking a class A substance, trafficking a class B substance (over 200 grams), and conspiracy to violate drug laws, according to a statement released by the Hudson Police Department.

Charles R. Claussen, 33, of Stow, was charged with trafficking a class B substance (over 200 grams), conspiracy to violate drug laws, and possession of a class E substance.

Bail was set at $1 million for Feliz Mejia and $500,000 for Claussen, police said. They will be arraigned Monday in Marlborough District Court. It was unclear Sunday whether either man had retained an attorney to represent him.

Claussen and Feliz Mejia were arrested Friday after an investigation that lasted nearly a year when police exercised a search warrant at a home in Stow. Police searched the home and a vehicle and allegedly seized $7,880 in cash, 393.8 grams of cocaine, 31.4 grams of fentanyl, and other drug paraphernalia, according to the statement.

No further information was available Sunday evening.
