He was arraigned at Lynn District Court by Judge Albert Conlon and was ordered held on $20,000 cash bail for each robbery. A probable cause hearing has been scheduled for Dec. 30.According to court documents, Goffredo robbed the 116 Lewis St. Dunkin Donuts of $70 around 5 a.m. after he showed employees two pellet guns tucked into his waistband. With a jacket pulled over his face, Goffredo is said to have run out of the store with two employees chasing after him. After a brief struggle, Goffredo was rounded up and brought back to waiting police officers who took him into custody. As he was being booked, Goffredo said he “did it to pay bills” and that he “just got done with a five-year sentence and is looking at 10 to 20.”Police soon after received a phone call from Det. Sgt.

He is also linked to a robbery of the Crown Drug Store at 232 Lewis St. on Oct. 29.During an interview with police Saturday, Goffredo admitted he is “shooting about 3 grams of heroin a day” and taking “100 mg of Valium” a day as well. He also admitted to robbing the Dunkin Donuts all three times along with Crown Drug and Starbucks.
