Putnam County Sheriff Kevin J. McConville reports the arrest of an Ansonia, CT, man, and woman after an investigation into drug sales in the county.
In October 2023, an investigator assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Enforcement Unit (NEU) developed information that the Ansonia, CT man was involved in the sale of cocaine within the area. The investigator was able to contact the subject and arrange for the purchase of cocaine at a local motel in the Town Southeast.
On October 26, 2023, NEU members attempted to stop and arrest the suspected drug dealer in the parking lot of the hotel after he had arrived to sell a quantity of cocaine to the undercover investigator. The vehicle fled, nearly striking a member of the Sheriff’s Office who was on foot in the lot and narrowly missing a marked police vehicle head-on. The occupants threw a quantity of suspected cocaine out of the passenger window of the vehicle. They were eventually taken into custody after the car was stopped on State Route 312 in the Town of Southeast.
