Dudley – On Tuesday, October 13, at approximately 6:00 a.m., the Dudley Police Department assisted the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section (VFAS) and the United States Marshals Service in serving an arrest warrant at an apartment located at 2 West Street.
The individual, Raheen Minton-Delgado, was wanted on two outstanding warrants involving multiple felony charges.
Officers arrived at the residence and repeatedly announced their presence before forcing entry. Minton-Delgado was located inside the apartment and taken into custody without further incident.
