LUDLOW — Chief Daniel Valadas reports that the Ludlow Police Department arrested and charged two men with drug trafficking and possession.
HECTOR PEREZ, AGE 21, of SPRINGFIELD, was arrested and charged with:
YOWIN NUNEZ DIAZ, AGE 20, of SPRINGFIELD, was charged with:
On Sunday, May 28, at approximately 9:49 p.m., Ludlow Police Officers performed a motor vehicle stop of a Nissan Murano on Fuller Street, on suspicion of multiple traffic violations.
While conducting the traffic stop, officers determined that the Nissan Murano was not insured and that the registration had been revoked.
The driver of the vehicle, identified as PEREZ, was aware that he could not operate this vehicle without registration and proof of insurance. DIAZ was a passenger in the vehicle. During the traffic stop, officers saw in plain view an open container of alcohol and initiated a search of the vehicle.
During a subsequent search of the vehicle officers found approximately 82.8 grams of heroin, 112 grams of crack cocaine, 37.5 grams of cocaine, and Tramadol Hydrochloride, for which PEREZ does not have a prescription.
Officers also located small baggies and rubber bands and additional drug paraphernalia, as well as an airsoft pistol equipped with a drum magazine for paintballs.
“I wish to commend the police officers for their excellent police work on this case,” Chief Valadas said. “Street drug interdiction arrests of this magnitude certainly help rid our community of illicit narcotics trafficking.”
PEREZ and DIAZ were arrested without incident.
PEREZ and DIAZ were held on $100,000 bail and transported to the Hampden County Correctional Center awaiting their initial appearance in Palmer District Court.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.

LUDLOW — Chief Daniel Valadas is pleased to announce that the Ludlow Police Department recently used grant funding to participate in National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.
As part of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, which is observed in April, the Ludlow Police Department recently participated in a month-long traffic enforcement campaign which focused on distracted driving.
Officers worked in pairs and were stationed around Ludlow to issue pamphlets or warnings to residents who were using electronic devices while operating motor vehicles.
As a result of this educational initiative Ludlow Police made a total of 72 traffic stops, 54 being drivers who were observed violating the Massachusetts “hands-free” law.
The department received funding for this campaign from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration through the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) Office of Grants and Research.
“This initiative is a way for us to remind residents that it is illegal to use an electronic device while driving,” said Chief Valadas. “Our department is committed to the safety and well-being of our residents and this initiative was to help mitigate accidents and educate our residents on the dangers of being distracted while driving.”
