It's believed that Loyola-Delvalle intended to sell the alcohol.
In Massachusetts, drivers are only allowed to transport up to 20 gallons of a malt beverage or three gallons of any alcoholic beverage unless they have a permit.
Loyola-Delvalle is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Dorchester District Court for charges including cocaine possession, unlawfully transporting liquor and a motor vehicle lights violation.
