On April 3, the Fall River Police Department’s Vice and Intelligence Unit, which investigates local drug cases, executed search warrants for Dubois’ residence and vehicle, seizing 1,326 bags of suspected heroin, $3,355 in cash, Suboxone films, a digital scale and alleged packaging materials, according to court documents.

Dubois was ordered held without bail for 120 days following a dangerousness hearing on April 9.

The grand jury last week also returned an indictment charging Jose Justiz, 31, of 131 Thomas St., with armed robbery, carrying a loaded firearm without a license and firearm violation with one prior violent or drug crime.

On Feb. 14, Fall River police officer Timothy Magan arrested Justiz following a motor vehicle stop at Albert and Smith streets where police officers discovered a loaded revolver stored inside a duffle bag in the car. Justiz has previous arrests for drug trafficking and distribution, according to court records.
