Alleged South Shore drug kingpin charged with selling Oxycodone at Back Bay station
By adamg on Thu, 03/28/2013 - 12:45pm
A man Plymouth County prosecutors once said was the head of a large Oxycodone ring was arrested at Back Bay station last night after he allegedly sold some Oxycodone tablets to an undercover Transit Police officer.
Transit Police report Eric Simmons, 53, of Weymouth, was nabbed as part of an effort to crack down on drug sales at the commuter rail and Orange Line station.
Simmons is scheduled for arraignment today in Boston Municipal Court on charges of distribution of a class B substance and possession with intent to distribute a class B substance. He will then be shipped to Plymouth County to face drug charges there, police say.
Innocent, etc.

Good to know his name!
Oh, his name is Eric? Every time I've seen him there, people just call him Cody .... oh, now I get it.
Kingpin?
He look more like Customer Of The Month!
Drug Kingpin?
I've seen the media refer to small time drug dealers as kingpins a little too often in the past. A drug kingpin, responsible for a large network of drug dealers, isn't going to be out on a subway platform selling a few pills at a time. Stop distorting these drug busts as being bigtime. Arresting this guy isn't going to stop the flow of drugs into Boston is it? Will it even put a sizeable dent in it? He's no kingpin. He's a small time scumbag.
Drug Kingpin?
Drug Kingpin? Why yes he IS, do your homework before you start typing comments so you don't sound like a moron. Many lives on the South Shore have been destroyed by this guy.
Kingpin My A$$!
If this guy is a kingpin, times must be tough for drug dealers. But if now we are going to refer to every penny-ante hustler as a kingpin, what do now call actual big-time drug dealers? This is not to minimize this dude's crimes but language needs to have meaning to be clear.
Good work by the cops
Now if they could take care of the illicit behavior in the men's room and the whinos out front it would be a plus
No kidding.
Far too much whining in front of Back Bay Station.
