Worcester Man Charged After 3-Kilogram Fentanyl Seizure

A 28-year-old Worcester man, Junior Tejada Hernandez, was arrested on a federal charge of possession with intent to distribute after authorities said they found more than three kilograms of fentanyl in his apartment. The search, conducted by DEA agents with assistance from Worcester police, also uncovered materials prosecutors say were used to process and package drugs for sale. If convicted, Hernandez faces up to 20 years in prison, at least three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $1 million. The charge is an allegation, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
