-- Boston Police, with the help of the FBI and the Staties, arrested a man they called the "drug kingpin" of East Boston. Ferney Pereanez, 24, faces charges that he masterminded a massive cocaine distribution network that brought the drug from Colombia into Boston and then distributed it across the state. He and 7 of his alleged confederates were arrested today on a number of related charges. According to the Suffolk County District Attorney, the arrests were "the result of a wiretap operation so extensive that it required federal funding and at least three Spanish-speaking translators at any given time."

Jared C. Monti of Raynham will posthumously receive the Medal of Honor from president Barack Obama in September. Monti, a 30-year old Army sergeant at the time, was killed on June 21, 2006 in Afghanistan while attempting to rescue wounded soldiers in his unit. He rescued one soldier and was killed while making a second rescue attempt. President Obama called Monti's parents, Paul Monti, of Raynham, and Janet Monti, of Winterville, N.C., on Tuesday to confirm his son would receive the country's top military honor. Both greeted the news with pride and sadness. "I’m so proud of him, but we’re going to meet the president because he’s dead, so I feel no joy in that," she said. Only six members of the military have been given this honor since 9/11. Monti's friends and family have started a scholarship fund in his name.
