Motor Vehicle Stop in Sudbury Turns Into Drug Bust
The following arrest information was supplied by the Sudbury Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.
A motor vehicle stop by the Sudbury Police Department Wednesday night turned into a drug arrest of two Framingham men, Lt. Scott Nix said in a release.
"An investigation by Sudbury Police detectives resulted in a motor vehicle stop on Nobscot Road at approximately 8:39 p.m. on March 13," he said. "During the stop two male suspects, Brendan Fleming (24) of 26 Montgomery Drive in Framingham, and David Akasa (24) of 72 Harrington Road in Framingham, were placed in custody."
Nix said detectives placed the men in custody for possession of a class B substance with intent to distribute (various pills were believed to contain oxycodone hydrochloride) and conspiracy to violate the controlled substance laws.
Just under $2,800 in cash was seized, as well as 128 pills.
Akasa was held overnight on $3,000 cash bail and will be transported to Framingham District Court this morning for arraignment. Fleming was bailed the previous evening for appearance at Framingham District Court this morning, as well, Nix said.

Can I make a suggestion? I appreciate the police log updates on Patch but it's a little disconcerting to see the hands/handcuffs image so often. It gives the impression that Sudbury has a crime problem, when I don't believe that to be the case. (In fact, most of SPD's activity involves people from surrounding towns). The SPD police station picture I think works better and is more representative of what's actually going on in Town. thanks for the consideration.

I only use the cuffs for arrests. In more general logs I use shots outside of the PD. I'll consider this during weeks when there tends to be a bunch of arrests. Thank you for the feedback.

JON999- I sympathize with your concern about the message it sends about Sudbury but in this instance, with an ongoing investigation prompting the auto stop I would hazard a guess that we may be looking into (an alleged) source of drugs aimed at our HS aged children in our town. Imagine your child starting on Oxy and ending up on heroin. There are folks preying on our children. I welcome the police arresting those responsible and Bob here putting the cuffs on the page to get our attention.
