Leonard Garland and David DeCristofaro, both 20, saw a lot of cars parked on a street in Ashland, Mass. Figuring it was a party they "crashed" it. Indeed there was a party and, witnesses say, Garland asked one of the hosts if he wanted to "get high". The host asked if he had something to get high with, and Garland and DeCristofaro produced psychedelic mushrooms and cocaine. They also chatted about a local "jerk" narcotics cop, Matt Gutwill, who the duo didn't like because he was so effective at arresting drug dealers. It was about then that the host identified himself -- as narcotics officer Matt Gutwill -- and arrested them. "The look on their faces was like they saw death knocking on their door," said Gutwill, who was wearing a sweatshirt emblazoned with "Burlington Police Academy" at the time. It wasn't difficult to detain the two men: most of the 20 people at the party were cops. "I've met a lot of dumb drug dealers," Gutwill said later, "but none this dumb."
