A 62-year-old Nantucket man was busted on Cape Cod A 62-year-old Nantucket man was busted on Cape Cod while allegedly getting ready to ship a kilo of cocaine back to the island, cops said. Detectives with the Barnstable Police Department arrested Edward Gillespie around 11 a.m. Thursday in Hyannis after an investigation identified him as a major supplier moving cocaine from the mainland to Nantucket. Police say Gillespie was caught just as he was preparing to transport the drugs from Hyannis to the island. The arrest didn’t end there. Investigators quickly secured a search warrant for Gillespie’s Nantucket home, teaming up with the Nantucket Police Department, the United States Coast Guard, and the Cape Cod office of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Inside the residence, authorities allegedly found more cocaine, amphetamines, drug-trafficking evidence — and about $10,000 in cash. In total, police seized roughly 1,141 grams of cocaine, 68 grams of amphetamine pills, and the cash haul. Gillespie was arraigned Friday in Barnstable District Court on a charge of trafficking cocaine over 200 grams and is being held pending a dangerousness hearing. The case is being prosecuted by the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office. Meanwhile, Nantucket police say additional drug-trafficking charges are expected to be filed in Nantucket District Court based on what was recovered at the home. Cops called the bust the result of a long-running investigation targeting cocaine flowing from Cape Cod to the island. #nantucket #capecod #newportbuzz
Rarely does a property of this caliber come to mar Rarely does a property of this caliber come to market. Set atop an elevated, private perch in Narragansett, 727 Boston Neck Road offers an exceptional opportunity to claim one of the most panoramic waterfront vistas in all of Rhode Island. From this commanding site, take in sweeping views of Bonnet Beach, Jamestown, and the iconic Newport Bridge — a coastal tableau like no other. What sets this offering apart is not only the view, but the setting: more than seven acres of surrounding protected parkland ensure unmatched privacy and natural beauty, while the ever-changing light on Narragansett Bay provides a daily backdrop of sailboats, sea breezes, and glowing sunsets. Whether envisioned as an idyllic summer retreat or a year-round coastal sanctuary, this opportunity is as rare as it is remarkable. Begin each day with the sunrise shimmering over the water, and end it with the twinkle of distant lights across the Bay. This is a once-in-a-multi-generation chance to design and build your dream home in an unparalleled location — or to thoughtfully renovate the existing midcentury modern residence to reflect your personal vision. The land, the view, and the privacy combine to offer an extraordinary foundation for your ideal coastal lifestyle. All just 30 minutes from Green Airport, 1.5 hours from Boston, and 3 hours from New York City. 727 Boston Neck Road, Narragansett, RI
