Using illegal drugs to dull the pain after he was seriously wounded in a Billerica home invasion four years ago, Robert W. Carter allegedly told his attorney the heroin Tewksbury police found on him when he was arrested this weekend was for personal use, not drug sales. In Lowell District Court on Monday, Carter, 54, of 45 Oak St., Billerica, was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty to charges of possession to distribute a Class A drug, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, and a marked-lanes violation.
