Dispatches from the Drug Epidemic: Part 4

By Jeff McMenemy / The Daily Item
LYNN — Antonio Gutierrez [of Lynn Street Youth Outreach Advocacy (LYSOA)] once made $10,000-$15,000 a week selling cocaine in New York, before ending up homeless and living in a condemned bathroom in Dorchester.

In part four of a Daily Item series on the region's illegal drug trade, the 47-year-old father of nine talks about his life selling drugs, using drugs and finally finding redemption working with at-risk kids on the streets of Lynn.

The story will be published in Friday, April 27th print edition of The Daily Item.
