DANBURY, CT — Authorities seized fentanyl, cocaine, cash, and other items following the execution of search and seizure warrants at a Michael Street apartment on April 21, according to Danbury police.

Danzy faces multiple charges, including possession of a controlled substance, possession of a narcotic substance with intent to sell, and possession of a narcotic substance over one ounce with intent to sell. His bond was set at $250,000.

Two other Danbury residents found in the residence were also taken into custody on outstanding warrants.
