LYNN — A 47-year-old Lynn man is facing drug trafficking charges after a massive amount of cocaine, heroin and fentanyl was found at his Kirtland Street home Wednesday night.

Shortly before 9 p.m., officers from the Lynn Police Drug Task Force and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration executed a search warrant at 86 Kirtland St. and seized 1,847 grams of cocaine, 817 grams altogether of heroin and fentanyl, drug paraphernalia and $24,206 in cash. Combined, the drugs have a street value of approximately $266,400, Lynn Police Lt. Michael Kmiec said.

Antonio Felipe-Vasquez, one of his many aliases, was arrested and charged with heroin and fentanyl trafficking over 200 grams and cocaine trafficking over 200 grams.

Kmiec said Felipe-Vasquez didn’t initially respond to police verbal commands to open the door, but eventually became compliant.
