Several anonymous tips were received about suspected drug activity in the area of South Memorial Elementary School. The arrest was the result of a month-long investigation, Peabody police said.
Community networking with members of the city, while involving multiple divisions within the Peabody Police Department, was credited for the arrest, Peabody police said.
