SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. -- A veteran police officer was arrested in Lynn Thursday night on a federal charge of distribution Percocet pills.
Thomas Wrenn, 37, of Nahant, was charged in a criminal complaint with possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.
An affidavit alleges that Wrenn purchased Percocet pills, a form of oxycodone, over a period of months. During that period, he allegedly routinely consumed the drug and cocaine.
The affidavit also alleges that Wrenn distributed a quantity of Percocet pills to a former Nahant officer and a young woman with a romantic liaison.
DEA agents and the Swampscott Police Dept. arrested Wrenn after he purchased 50 pills from his regular supplier.
Swampscott Police have not commented on the arrest.
