HOLYOKE — Law enforcement officials discovered the trappings of a large-scale marijuana trafficking operation — including bales of pot, illegal guns, exotic cars and millions in cash — at a former Main Street firehouse, according to the Hampden County district attorney’s office.

Cory A. Taylor, with addresses in both Holyoke and New Salem, was arrested by Massachusetts State Troopers after a traffic stop in the small Franklin County town of Pelham on Aug. 21. They seized 138 pounds of marijuana and a pair of brass knuckles from the Econoline van Taylor was driving, according to a police report.

Taylor, 41, who made bail and disappeared from the Hampshire County Jail on foot, failed to show up for his arraignment in Belchertown District Court on Aug. 24. He remains at large, court records say. His attorney, Vincent Bongiorni, did not respond to a request for comment.

Taylor initially told troopers he was paid $5,000 to deliver the marijuana to a man named “Juan” in the parking lot of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, and that he had a source in California who shipped him the drugs. He maintained it was his first time acting as a drug courier, the report reads. Police also recovered a Fed Ex uniform and a “fake” Fed Ex magnet in the van.

 

Taylor told investigators they had “figured it out,” and worried over the potential criminal charges he may face.

 

“When they were alone, Taylor asked if he could get a promise in writing about what would happen,” the report reads, prompting a trooper to respond: “It doesn’t work that way.”

 

At the New Salem property, investigators found 30 primarily older-model Toyotas in a large garage — one of which was shrink-wrapped in plastic. The report notes Taylor’s mother was aware her son frequently received large packages there but never asked what they contained.

While Taylor professed to rent a single bedroom at his mother’s home, troopers and federal agents obtained a search warrant for 452 Main St. in Holyoke — a 5,000-square-foot converted firehouse — and discovered a “luxury dwelling” with secret compartments for illegal guns and “several million” dollars in cash.

 

The ground floor of the building served as a bay for “eight, exotic high-end vehicles,” previously reserved for fire engines, according to the report. The second and third floors are living areas that had undergone extensive renovations, it added. There, investigators found a “high-end kitchen,” walk-in showers and a trove of 24 illegal weapons, 50 pounds of marijuana and stacks of cash, the report says. They also encountered a house cat during the search.

 

Records filed with the Hampden County Registry of Deeds show Taylor purchased the property from Apple Management LLC for $165,000 in June 2010, then transferred it to a trust for $1 a few months later. Taylor’s mother told troopers she owns the property but it is controlled by a trust.

 

City records show a building permit issued in September 2010, with a description of the work listed as, “Convert existing building into single residence.” Other permits issued that year show extensive electrical, gas and roofing work.

The old firehouse abuts a storefront church and sits across from several buildings with boarded up first-floor windows. A licensed recreational marijuana shop is around the corner.

Police records say Taylor had been the subject of previous law enforcement investigations concentrating on 452 Main St., and that there had been a previous break-in at the property.

 

“(Investigators) advised that they were aware that there had been a previous attempted home invasion at the residence where he fought with the intruder and a shot was fired; and that during the previous home invasion investigation he had not allowed investigators to go upstairs to the second floor of the residence,” the report reads.

 

Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said the large amount of drugs and money seized are evidence that the “illicit marijuana market is thriving.”

 

“The danger posed and threat to public safety is evident, the suspect involved felt the need to possess an arsenal to defend this lucrative business,” Gulluni said. “Thank you to all the agencies involved in removing a very significant amount of illegal guns off of our streets.”

 

The legal marijuana business is thriving in Holyoke, too. The Boston Business Journal recently reported that, as of July 9, the city of Holyoke had reported 40 completed applications that had been submitted to the state — or 5% of the 841 total license applications received to date.

When Taylor failed to appear for his arraignment on charges that include felony counts of marijuana trafficking and carrying a dangerous weapon, a district court judge issued an arrest warrant, records say. His mother told investigators she has neither seen nor heard from her son.

 

Prosecutors are also seeking charges that include money laundering and a number of firearms offenses, the district attorney’s office said.

Taylor walked away from the Hampshire County jail just before midnight on Aug. 21, according to a police report. A police document says a clerk magistrate had set bail at $2,000 plus fees. Bongiorni told investigators his client had neither a wallet nor credit cards, and didn’t have a cell phone when he was released.

 

Massachusetts State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating Taylor, believed to be armed and dangerous, Gulluni said.

 

“If you know of his whereabouts please contact the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to the Hampden District Attorney’s Office (413) 505-5993 or anonymously utilize Text-a-Tip by texting the word CRIMES (2-7-4-6-3-7) and type the world SOLVE followed by the information,” the prosecutor said.

 

In addition to state police and the DEA, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohols Tobacco and Firearms, the state police detective units assigned to the Northwest and Hampden district attorney’s offices, and Holyoke Police Department assisted in the investigation.
