A 41-year-old Braintree man was arrested on Thursday on drug and weapons charges following a drug-trafficking investigation.

After stopping a car driven by Timothy M. Lesslie on Hull Shore Drive to conduct a search authorized by a warrant, detectives found 18 grams of heroin, 12 grams of cocaine, 6 grams of mushrooms, 3 grams of methamphetamine, and 1 gram of Adderall, as well a pair of brass knuckles and a green stun gun.

Police Chief John Dunn reported that Lesslie was charged with trafficking in 18 grams or more of heroin, possession with Intent to distribute a Class B drug, possession of a Class B drug (two counts), possession of a Class C drug, and carrying a dangerous weapon (two counts).

Lesslie was booked at the Hull police station and held at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility on $40,000 bail. He was arraigned on the charges on Friday in Hingham District Court, which issued the initial search warrant that led to the arrest.

“Solid police work by our detectives during this investigation ultimately resulted in the removal of a drug dealer and his narcotic inventory from the streets of Hull,” Dunn said. “The Hull Police Department’s detective unit demonstrated top-notch professionalism during this investigation, ultimately arresting the suspect peacefully and without incident.”
