Police make cocaine arrest on Nantucket

By Padraig Shea, Globe Correspondent

Nantucket Police say they seized 35 grams of cocaine from a man they believe was delivering the drug to a house on Somerset Road.

Officers were tipped off to the delivery and arrested Stefon Mitchell, 35, of Nantucket as he drove toward the drop-off house in a black sport utility vehicle Friday night, police said in a statement.

Mitchell faces one charge of drug trafficking for which he could face up to 20 years in prison. He will be arraigned Monday in Nantucket District Court, and is being held until then on $25,000 cash bail, police said.
