HYANNIS - On Thursday, Members of the Barnstable Street Crime Unit (SCU) were on a directed patrol in the Sea Street section of Hyannis based on neighborhood complaints relating to drugs. At 3:30 p.m., SCU members Mass State Police Sgt. Steve Lopes and Barnstable Officer Peter Ginnetty were in the area conducting surveillance on Woodbury Avenue.On October 17th, 2012, the SCU executed a narcotics search warrant at 31 Woodbury Avenue which resulted in a drug arrest. On this date, Lopes and Ginnetty observed a gold four-door Oldsmobile parked idling on Woodbury Avenue for approximately 15 minutes. The vehicle contained two adult males. One subject was very well known to the SCU as a known narcotics user. The occupants of the vehicle appeared to be waiting for someone. The vehicle began to travel down Woodbury Avenue towards Seabrook Road. A third subject, Christopher Wilkins, 25, of Bourne, was observed quickly getting into the rear seat of the Oldsmobile.
Wilkins is also very well known to the SCU. He is suspected of being involved in the distribution of narcotics in and around Hyannis. Wilkins pled guilty on September 8th, 2009, in Barnstable Superior Court to B/E night time, A&B with a dangerous weapon, and Assault with dangerous weapon/handgun. The above charges arose out of a March 2008 Home Invasion in Marstons Mills. Wilkins and a second unidentified suspect entered a residence armed with handguns and wearing ski masks and assaulted the occupants. A firearm was discharged during the incident. Wilkins also pled guilty to unarmed robbery in December of 2006. In that case he committed a purse snatching in Hyannis. CWN archives also show Wilkins was arrested in October 25th, 2012 when he was a passenger in a vehicle stopped by the SCU. He faced charges of possession with intent to distribute Class A heroin and Class B Percocet [the evidence photo at right is from that arrest (click to enlarge)].Lopes and Ginnetty stopped the gold Oldsmobile on Seabrook Road and conducted a follow up investigation. Wilkins was found in possession of six grams of heroin and six grams of cocaine. He also had $2,852 cash on his person. He was transported to the Barnstable Police Department and booked. He was charged with possession of class A/heroin and possession of class B/cocaine with intent to distribute. Wilkins indicated he was unemployed during the booking process. He is currently being held on $1,500 bail pending arraignment in Barnstable District Court on Friday.
