David Baez arrested for attempting to sell heroin to an undercover police officer

David Baez, 39, of 48 Saratoga St., Apt. 3, Lawrence, was in court Wednesday to plead innocent to a charge of distribution of heroin in a case involving the Haverhill Police Narcotics Unit, assisted by state police."This has been an example of a series of arrests we've been making where we have been targeting heroin dealers out of Lawrence," Arahovites said.After Baez's release shortly before noon Wednesday, undercover police had a hunch that he might be operating again — and they were right.
Police arrested Baez for attempting to sell heroin to an undercover police officer. In addition, they arrested his driver, seized drugs, money and a 1995 Nissan Maxima.
Baez was charged with distribution of heroin and a drug violation in a school zone. Jose Medina, 36, of 70 Union St., apartment 1, Methuen, was arrested on similar charges.
"On the second deal, we guessed it may be him. When we grabbed him, we were as surprised as he was," Arahovites said. "In my career, I've seen people come and go from the courthouse. They'll drive from the courthouse, leave and get arrested again."
