Richard J., 49, and Geraldine Lyons, 50, of 208 Naugler Ave., along with their two sons, Derek, 19, and Richard J. Jr, 21, are out on bail after being arraigned Monday in Marlborough District Court on a host of drug charges.


Enough drugs were seized from their home, according to court records, to charge three of them with drug distribution. Police are confident they closed down a significant drug ring.


Except for Richard J. Lyons Jr., the other three were arraigned on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana and conspiracy to violate drug laws. Richard J. Lyons Jr. does not face distribution charges, but was arraigned on possession of marijuana and conspiracy.


Yesterday, some residents of the rather upscale section near Memorial Beach, who did not know about the arrests, were rattled by the news. Others seemed unfazed.


"I’m not surprised at all," said one young mother, who didn’t want to be named. "It was just a matter of time. There’s always a lot of noise and traffic -- lots of night traffic. You just knew something was going on over there. It’s obvious that things have been going on over there, that something was going on. I’m just glad the police are involved now."


Another neighbor, who also did not want to be named, said he has had plenty of issues with the family, particularly the children, but believes a mutual understanding has been reached. He declined to be more specific.


Another mother and her teenage daughter said neighbors had been out yesterday morning chatting about the 2 pounds of pot, $10,000 in cash and a stash of drug paraphernalia authorities said they seized from the Lyons’ home.


"We never would have thought that something like this was going on," the teenage daughter said. "We’ve never spoken to any of them, but finding this out, it’s upsetting. There are so many families in this neighborhood and everyone has children."


Another neighbor said it is important for his Naugler Avenue home to remain the safe, friendly gathering spot for his family, including his three children, 28, 16 and 13.


"I thought this was a safe, clean neighborhood with no trouble," he said when told of the drug bust. He then added: "It is safe, it’s always been. I’m not upset, I just want the police to deal with them and what they did and we can move on."


Yesterday, several cars were lined up in front of the Lyons’ home, with teenagers going in and out. When a reporter knocked at the front door, several German shepherds barked but no one answered. After a few minutes, Geraldine Lyons opened an upstairs window, and said, "See ya," and slammed it shut when informed that a Daily News reporter and photographer would like to speak with her.


"I suggest you get off my property," Lyons said after reopening the window. She then came downstairs and opened two living room windows with partially torn outdoor screens, and summoned her dogs, who jumped up and down and put their paws through the screens.


A teenage girl who said she was a relative pulled up to the residence, and screamed at the reporter and photographer before calling police.
