BOSTON — A man was arrested for allegedly selling drugs while working in a produce tent at Haymarket in Boston.

Police say they arrested 36-year-old Florentino Figueroa-Barragan at the outdoor green market on Friday.

Officials said Figueroa-Barragan seemed to be involved in what looked like a drug transaction behind a dumpster.

Police watched two supposed interactions before arresting him and confiscating 43 bags of heroin, 14 bags of cocaine and over six hundred dollars.

Figueroa-Barragan has been charged with distribution of Class A drugs and will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
