The CEO and founder of a Massachusetts legal nonprofit that specializes in criminal record expungement has been charged with distributing cocaine, the Justice Department said Friday.
Javan Tooley, 36, of Dorchester and Brockton, Mass., the founder and CEO of Adapt & Evolve, was charged with one count of distribution of, and possession with intent to distribute, 28 grams or more of cocaine base, federal prosecutors said.
Tooley appeared in federal court on Friday, where he pleaded not guilty.
On Sept. 10, 2025, Tooley allegedly distributed 100 grams of crack cocaine in Dorchester, near his nonprofit. He is also alleged to have distributed the drugs in his car while a young child—around six or seven years old—was in the back seat.
