Defendant Charged with Firearms and Drug Offenses

BOSTON – In a shocking turn of events, a local man has been charged with serious crimes that could land him in prison for years to come. Ramon Silvelo-Miles, a 32-year-old from Haverhill, Massachusetts, has been charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl.

According to the charging documents, on September 20, 2021, Silvelo-Miles was stopped by law enforcement for driving erratically on Route 24 in West Bridgewater. Field sobriety tests administered on-site indicated that Silvelo-Miles was too impaired to drive.

It is alleged that a subsequent search of the defendant’s car uncovered over 300 grams of cocaine packaged in small, clear plastic bags, as well as a small backpack inside the glove compartment that contained a clear plastic bag of fentanyl. A Raven Arms MP-25 .25 caliber pistol hidden within a black sock is also alleged to have been found in the glove compartment. The gun was loaded with one bullet in the chamber and five bullets in the magazine.

Silvelo-Miles is prohibited from possessing a firearm due to multiple prior felony convictions, including a 2014 conviction for manslaughter.

The charge of possession with intent to distribute cocaine and fentanyl provides for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, at least three years and up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a fine of up to $1 million. The charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.

Silvelo-Miles was detained pending a probable cause hearing scheduled for January 25, 2022.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, Boston Field Division, announced the charges. Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Wyshak, III is prosecuting the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making neighborhoods safer for everyone.
