BROCKTON - Nine months after leading police on a high-speed chase down Route 3 in Weymouth that led to drug trafficking charges, a Brockton man was arrested again Sunday after police said he had marijuana laced with the powerful painkiller fentanyl.



Marlon Teixeira was arrested with two others in Connecticut and was charged with selling the laced drug over the weekend.



Teixeira, 27, of Brockton, Jennifer Best, 27, of Weymouth and Jennifer Savoie, 29, of Dedham were busted following a traffic stop in Plainfield, Conn., on Sunday.



Best was pulled over in a rest area on I-395 in Plainfield driving a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander rental car with a Massachusetts license plate. She committed multiple driving violations, including the use of a cell phone while driving, police said.



While talking with Best, a trooper noticed a strong smell of marijuana in the car, police said.



While searching the car, police found 33.4 grams of "high-grade" marijuana, 7 grams of heroin and $3,508 in cash, police said.



Best told the troopers the marijuana was laced with fentanyl, police said.



Best, and passengers Teixeira and Savoie, were all placed under arrest.



Teixeira and Best were both charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell and possession of more than a half-ounce of marijuana. Savoie was charged with drug possession.



Teixeira, who rented the car, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Monday and was ordered held on $75,000 bail.



Last October, Teixeira was charged with trafficking oxycodone and selling cocaine and fentanyl following a high-speed chase down Route 3 in Weymouth, police said.



Detectives had watched Teixeira do multiple drug deals in Weymouth on Oct. 20 and when they attempted to pull him over he fled, police said.



He eventually stopped and he and two passengers, also from Brockton, were arrested. Officers found 10 grams of cocaine, over 20 grams of fentanyl and more than 250 oxycodone pills, hidden inside the car, police said.



He was indicted in that case in May in Norfolk Superior Court and has a hearing scheduled for Sept. 13, Norfolk County District Attorney spokesman David Traub said.
