BOSTON, Sept. 9, 2013—Two men are charged with drug offenses after agreeing to sell the drug known as “Molly” to an undercover Boston Police officer, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

DANIEL MILISI (D.O.B. 9/26/83) of South Boston and JOSEPH P. DOOLIN (D.O.B. 3/9/77) of Quincy are both charged with possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute and conspiracy to violate the state’s drug laws. Milisi allegedly possessed the MDMA at the time of his arrest, while Doolin allegedly drove him to consummate the pre-arranged drug deal. Doolin is additionaly charged with a second count of possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute for illicit prescription drugs on his person.

Judge Jonathan Tynes set Milisi’s bail at $2500 and ordered him to remain drug-free, abide by a 7:00 p.m. curfew, and stay away from Doolin. Doolin’s bail was set at $540 – the amount he posted last night – and he, too, was ordered to remain drug-free and stay away from his co-defendant.

Assistant District Attorney William Champlin IV told the court that Boston Police Drug Control Unit officers had undertaken an ongoing narcotics investigation in which they made contact with Milisi. After two days of email, text messages, and phone calls, he allegedly agreed to meet the buyer – whom he did not know to be an undercover officer – at Whiskey Priest in the Seaport District.

Milis allegedly told the buyer that he would arrive at the location at 7:15 Friday evening with 1.5 grams of “Molly” for a price of $150. Plainclothes Boston Police surveilled the location and watched as Milisi arrived in a Chevrolet pick-up truck driven by Doolin. Milisi allegedly told the buyer to meet him inside by the ladies’ room.

Uniformed officers then approached Milisi and prevented him from placing a plastic baggie in his mouth. The bag was retrieved and found to contain an off-white, crystalline powder. He was placed under arrest.

Officers then approached Doolin, who stated that he was simply giving Milisi a ride. When asked if he had any drugs or weapons, he allegedly stated that he did not. In the course of a pat frisk, officers found five whole and two partial tablets of Suboxone and one tablet of Percocet in a plastic baggie in his pocket.

Milisi was represented by attorney Robert Menton and Doolin by attorney Steven Jones. They will return to court on Oct. 23.
