A former staffer for Governor Maura Healey will be held without the right to bail following a dangerousness hearing in a cocaine trafficking case.
Lamar Cook, 45, of Springfield, was arrested and charged with several firearm and narcotics-related offenses, according to the Hampden District Attorney’s Office.
Cook is accused of trafficking 200 grams or more of cocaine, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Investigators said they seized several parcels with a total of approximately 21 kilograms of suspected cocaine, including approximately eight kilograms that were intercepted on Saturday during a controlled delivery operation set up by investigators in Springfield.
