Peabody drug suspect held on $10G

SALEM – Bail for a Peabody man who is accused of providing heroin to two young women and then dumping the victims out of a car in Danvers last winter was set at $10,000 cash.John Coyne, 23, of 22 May St., Peabody, appeared before Judge John T. Lu for his arraignment Friday in Salem Superior Court, pleading innocent to aggravated assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.The judge agreed to set the $10,000 cash bail with the option that the defense may seek a bail review at another court hearing. Special conditions are that Coyne is to stay away from the victims and have no contact with them until his case is resolved.In the meantime Coyne remains held in lieu of bail at the Middleton Jail.Assistant District Attorney Matthew Hemond accuses Coyne of providing two young women with heroin on Feb. 28 and both overdosing. He apparently dumped the women on Irving Street. One of the women was found in a snow bank and the other 20-year-old girl was found in the street. She reportedly had been struck by a vehicle before being found and suffered a lacerated liver and broken collarbone.Both women were taken to area hospitals for treatment.Coyne failed to appear in Superior Court last week for his arraignment. A warrant was issued for his arrest and he turned himself in to police a few days later.Roberto Vasquez, 24, of Lynn, who is charged with accessory after the fact in the case, was arraigned last week and remains free on his own personal recognizance.Both are scheduled to be back in court on Aug. 29.
