Nicholas M. Fitzgerald, 20, of Braintree was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after police found on him a zip lock bag containing several smaller bags of marijuana, along with $762 in cash, Jenkins said.
Mark D. Hanson, JR, 19, also of Braintree, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for breaking and entering and larceny related offenses and the two other individuals were not charged.
