Man arrested for allegedly transporting illegal amount of alcohol

BOSTON – A Waltham man has been arrested after police allegedly found cocaine and an illegal amount of alcohol in his vehicle.

Edwin Loyola-Delvalle, 49, of Waltham, was stopped just after midnight Monday morning when state troopers said they observed a large amount of alcohol in the van he was driving.

According the Massachusetts law, a person is only allowed to transport 20 gallons of malt beverage or three gallons of alcohol at a time without a permit for alcohol transportation.

Police said Loyola-Delvalle had more than 30 gallons of alcohol, a mix of beer and liquor, as well as a bag containing .6 gram of what is believed to be cocaine.

Loyola-Delvalle is charged with possession of a Class B drug (cocaine), unlawfully transporting liquor and a motor vehicle violation. He’s expected to be arraigned on Tuesday.
