Drug Trafficker Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison

In July 2019 members of the Beverly Police Drug Control Unit arrested Josue Figueroa
(aka “Sway”), 46 of 59B Haverhill Road, Amesbury, MA. Figueroa was charged with trafficking
cocaine in the City of Beverly after the execution of a search warrant on an apartment located at
2 Duck Pond Road. The apartment was a suspected “stash pad” for a drug distribution
organization. The search resulted in the seizure of approximately 1500 grams (1 kilo and a half)
of cocaine. The subsequent drug seizure and arrest was the result of a several month long
investigation involving the B.P.D.C.U and the United States Postal Inspectors Service. On June
9, 2023 Figueroa plead guilty to trafficking over 100 grams of cocaine, which resulted in an 8
years and a day sentence in state prison.
