Pittsfield Man Facing Drug, Assault Charges

11:47AM / Wednesday, January 14, 2026

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A city man was taken into custody on Tuesday evening after allegedly threatening others in his North Street apartment.

Ixander Pereira, 22, was arrested after police say they discovered bags of material "consistent" with heroin on his person.

Pereira was charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon (firearm) and possession of a class A substance (heroin) and is expected to be arraigned in Pittsfield District Court today. No firearm was recovered.

Police responded a call about an "unwanted subject" in the 500 block of North Street at approximately 6:34 p.m.

The responding officers were told that someone had been threatened by a man with a firearm, and that there were multiple people, including the potential suspect, within a particular apartment.

Because of the information regarding the presence of a firearm and the number of people inside the residence, additional officers, including members of the anti-crime unit, also responded.

Officers were allowed into the apartment, and Pereira was taken into custody without incident.
