But this time not because of past arrests. A probation worker at Charlestown District Court was arrested there yesterday on charges she helped her boyfriend sell OxyContin out of their East Boston apartment.
Michelle Kelly, 26, was arraigned this morning on a charge of distributing OxyContin within 1,000 feet of a school and 100 feet of a park, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. She had bail set at $1,000.
Her boyfriend, Paul J. Doherty, 28, was arraigned yesterday on 12 counts of distributing OxyContin and one count of trafficking in more than 14 grams of the drug, the DA's office says. He was ordered held in lieu of $250,000 bail.
Prosecutors say that Doherty sold about 100 OxyContin tablets to undercover State troopers on several occasions over the last half of 2008 - and charge Kelly was present for many of the deals at their Lexington Street residence. The DA's office says the charge against Kelly stems from a Dec. 22 incident in which Kelly sold an undercover two tablets of OxyContin because Doherty was not home.
Innocent, etc.
