Brockton Superior Court officers suspended, mother and daughter arrested in heroin trafficking at court
Brockton MA Nov 19 2017 Three court officers at Brockton Superior Court were placed on paid leave, and a mother and daughter were charged Thursday as part of an investigation into an alleged heroin distribution ring at the courthouse, authorities said.
Christine Lozanne, 54, of Norwood and Tineisha Lozanne, 25, of Dorchester were arraigned in Brockton District Court on a handful of counts, including distribution of heroin and delivery of an article or drugs to a prisoner in jail, according to the Plymouth district attorney’s office.
The court officers, who were not identified, are on paid administrative leave, pending the results of the ongoing investigation, trial court spokeswoman Jennifer Donahue confirmed in an e-mail late Thursday afternoon.
“We are currently reviewing security practices in the Brockton Superior Court and will take any immediate action required,” she said in the statement.
