Drug Dealers Arrested After Citizen Complaints: Danbury Police
Three arrests were made after police executed search warrants at a Harding Place apartment Thursday.
DANBURY, CT — Two area men were arrested on drug trafficking charges Thursday after following citizen complaints from Harding Place in Danbury, according to police. Jeremy "Papo" Colon, 25, of Bethel and Robert Frey, 23, of Danbury were arrested after police executed search warrants and found xanax, oxycodone and marijuana in a Harding Place apartment.
Police say the investigation of the men began weeks earlier following citizen complaints. Before the search warrants were executed, investigators say they saw Frey and another man engage in a drug transaction before they stopped Frey's customer Christopher Coursen, 35, of North Salem, NY, and found oxycodone pills.
Investigators then executed a search warrant at the Harding Place apartment where they found Colon and Frey. Both men were found with illegal drugs, police say.
