ENFIELD, CT — A year-long narcotics investigation led to two DEA-assisted raids in Enfield on Thursday, resulting in the seizure of large quantities of drugs, firearms, and a pill press operation, according to a news release from police.

Working with the DEA on November 20th, officers in Enfield executed search warrants on Prospect Street and Gammello Avenue.

As they approached the target residence on Prospect Street, officers said a male suspect, later identified by police as 34-year-old Jason Fogg, threw a loaded handgun off the second-floor porch of the home. Fogg then resisted arrest while DEA agents took him into custody, authorities said.
