A 40-year-old Lynn man was arrested on motor vehicle and drug-related charges following a traffic stop by a Malden Police Officer last week. As a result of a proactive traffic enforcement assignment, Platoon B Officer Cam Selfridge initiated a motor vehicle stop that led to an arrest. According to police, “during the interaction, Officer Selfridge identified indicators of possible criminal activity.”

Police said further investigation led to the arrest of Eddie Rucker, 40, of Lynn, and the seizure of suspected crack cocaine. Also confiscated in the course of the arrest was an undetermined amount of cash and two cellphones.

Rucker was scheduled to be arraigned on multiple charges in Malden District Court. The result of that arrangement was unavailable by Advocate press time for this week.
