NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (WLNE) — The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday that a New Bedford drug dealer was sentenced to three years prison.

  • Possession of suboxone
  • Unlawful possession of a firearm

Quinn said New Bedford police executed a search warrant in September 2021 on Coggeshall Street, targeting Montalvo.
