THE SUSPECT, 41 YEAR OLD CORY
TAYLOR.
22NEWS REPORTER KATRINA KINCADE
IS LIVE IN HOLYOKE TONIGHT AFTER
CHECKING OUT TAYLOR'S HOME -
WHERE POLICE SAY THEY FOUND SO
MUCH
MORE.
KATRINA KINCADE:
THE SEARCH WARRANT FROM HOLYOKE
DISTRICT COURT SAYS THERE WAS
PROBABLE
CAUSE TO BELIEVE THIS RESIDENCE
WAS USED AS A MEANS OF COMMITING
A CRIME.
POLICE KNEW TAYLOR AS MARIJUANA
TRAFFICKER IN HAMPSHIRE, HAMPDEN
AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES.
A WARRANT IS OUT FOR THE ARREST
OF CORY TAYLOR OF NEW SALEM
AFTER HE MISSED HIS
ARRAIGNMENT ON MONDAY FOR
MULTIPLE CHARGES,
POLICE ARRESTED TAYLOR LATE LAST
WEEK AFTER HE WAS ALLEGEDLY
CAUGHT
WITH NEARLY 140 POUNDS OF
MARIJUANA ....HE POSTED 2000
DOLLARS
BAIL AND HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE.
ANTHONY GULLUNI, HAMPDEN COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY;
"HE WAS KNOWN TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
AND THE
FACT THAT HE WAS ARRESTED WITH
SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA
IN FRANKLIN
COUNTY WAS ALSO SUFFICIENT TO
OTHER ADDRESSES TO HIS DRUG
ACTIVITY."
TAYLOR'S ORIGINAL BAIL WAS SET
SO LOW BECAUSE IT WAS SOLELY ON
ONE
TRAFFICKING CHARGE, BUT ONCE
POLICE SEARCHED HIS HOLYOKE
RESIDENCE,
THEY FOUND MUCH MORE.
KATRINA KINCADE, HOLYOKE:
"THIS SEEMINGLY ABANDONED
FIREHOUSE
BEHIND ME IS ACTUALLY ONE OF
TAYLOR'S RESIDENCES AND WHEN
POLICE SEACHED IT THEY
FOUND SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS,
50 POUNDS OF MARIJUANA AND
MULTIPLE EXOTIC CARS."
SPRINGFIELD MAYOR DOMENIC SARNO
OF IS OUTSPOKEN ABOUT WANTING TO
CHANGE
THE CURRENT BAIL SYSTEM FOR HIGH
PROFILE AND VIOLENT OFFENDERS.
DOMENIC SARNO, SPRINGFIELD
MAYOR;
"I UNDERSTAND THAT INDIVIDUAL,
AGAIN
WHETHER IT WAS A JUDGE OR A
CLERK WILL SAY HEY "MAKE SURE
YOU COME BACK TO COURT," HE'S
GONE. HE'S GONE. SO THAT'S WHY
THERE'S GOTTA BE A BETTER CHECKS
AND BALANCES
WITH OUR COURT SYSTEM."
INVESTIGATORS ARE WORKING ON
TRACKING TAYLOR BUT DA GULLUNI
SAYS THEY
HAVE NO CURRENT LEADS.
KATRINA KINCADE:
TAYLOR IS EXPECTED TO BE ARMED
AND DANGEOUS SO POLICE SAY IF
YOU SEE HIM DO
NOT APPROACH BUT DO CALL 9-1-1.
