The former Watertown Town Councilor faces marijuana growing and distribution charges, but his attorney contends the search warrant was based on false or misleading information provided by the Waltham Police..
Former Watertown Town Councilor Thomas "Gus" Bailey was arrested on drug growing and distribution charges after Waltham Police found marijuana plants inside a warehouse he owns, but his attorney argues that the search was illegal because the search warrant was obtained by using false statements. In documents filed at the Federal Court in Boston, attorney Kevin Mahoney argues that certain details used in the affidavit filed by Joseph Connors, a drug investigator with the Waltham Police Department, were untrue and were included to ensure that the search warrant would be approved by a judge. Waltham Police received a tip from a Framingham drug investigator about an indoor marijuana growing operation in the city. When police went to …
