  FALMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – [Falmouth PD media statement – March 12, 2025] – On the evening of March 11, 2025, Falmouth Police conducted surveillance at a residence on Central Avenue suspected of involvement in narcotics activity. At approximately 7:00 PM, officers observed a vehicle make a brief stop at the residence, behavior consistent with narcotics transactions. Officers followed the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop for marked lane violations on Waquoit Highway. A narcotics K9 team from the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office responded, and the K9 indicated the presence of narcotics inside the vehicle. A subsequent search led to the discovery of illicit pills. The driver, Benjamin Morris, 35, of Dennis, was arrested and charged with Possession of a Class B Substance and Marked Lanes Violation. Morris was booked and later released on personal recognizance. Later that evening, at approximately 8:15 PM, officers observed another vehicle leaving the residence. The vehicle had a defective taillight and was not inspected, prompting a second traffic stop on Waquoit Highway. Once again, the narcotics K9 alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search of an occupant revealed multiple baggies containing cocaine, fentanyl, and illicit pills. As a result, Heidi Debarros, 53, of Falmouth, was arrested and charged with: • Trafficking 18 Grams or More of Cocaine • Trafficking 10 Grams or More of Fentanyl • Possession of a Class B Substance (Two Counts) Debarros was held on $5,000 bail.
