It wasn't a mint on the pillows that caused a commotion at the La Quinta Hotel Tuesday.

Police say they arrived to find two women and an undisclosed amount of heroin.
Lina Abdilla, 27, of 8 Todd Lane, Lynnfield, was charged with possession of a class A substance. Crystal Hogan, 28, of 32 Adams Ave., Lynn, was charged with knowingly being present with heroin.
This was the latest in a series of recent heroin-related arrests in town. In September, a man was charged with possession after police said he passed out in his car high on heroin. And just a few days before that, police charged another man with heroin possession while serving a warrant at a local home.
And just a few weeks before that, there were two separate heroin arrests in Andover on the same day.
