Wareham Police detectives arrested two on drug charges on Friday morning, Feb. 28. 

Detectives stopped a vehicle on Glen Charlie Road as part of an investigation into illegal narcotic sales in the Shangri-La area at around 11:20 a.m. 

Detectives placed Robert Ward, 59, of Stoughton, and Johna Fonseca, 40, of Wareham under arrest after finding 16.4 grams of suspected crack cocaine, 20.5 grams of suspected cocaine, 1 gram of suspected heroin, a digital scale, over $950 in cash, four cell phones, and a box of sandwich bags in the vehicle.

Ward and Fonseca have been charged with trafficking cocaine over 36 grams, possession with intent to distribute a Class “A” drug, and conspiracy to violate drug laws. 

Ward was arrested less than a year ago after a raid at 6 Bartlett Lane in East Wareham. In that incident, Ward was charged with having over 500 grams of suspected cocaine.

Chief of Police John Walcek said, “While it is frustrating to have to rearrest individuals, I am proud of our officers’ relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.”
