Mom's effort to dress son results in embarassment, drug charges

Travis Curry was wearing only shorts when he allegedly sold some drugs to an undercover cop in the foyer of his Tremont Street apartment building one cold February afternoon. As officers arrived to take him in, one asked his mother, who had come down, if she wanted to get him some warmer clothes for the trip down to B-2 for booking. According to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office:

Curry’s mother agreed to do so and went with an officer to her apartment, where she handed the officer a sweatshirt and a pair of jeans. The officer felt a hard object inside the jeans. Looking inside, he found a large folding knife, nine bags of crack cocaine, and 15 bags of heroin.

Curry, 24, was arraigned today in Suffolk Superior Court on charges of distribution of a Class A substance, possession with intent to distribute Class A and Class B substances, and violating the state’s drug laws within 1,000 feet of Madison Park High School. Curry faces lengthier sentences as a second or subsequent drug offender.

Curry pleaded innocent. Bail was set at $2,000 and he was ordered to stay away from Madison Park, the DA's office says.

Innocent, etc.
