Man Accused of Peddling Heroin From Residence

Written by Harold Cobin

Members of the police Special Services unit arrested a city man Thursday for allegedly dealing heroin out of his residence.

Special Services commander Lt. James Walsh said this was the second time this year his officers have arrested 59-year-old Gregory Pfeiffer for heroin sales.

Walsh said Pfeiffer was arrested in January after members of his unit executed a search and seizure warrant at his 65 George Ave. address and allegedly found heroin there.

In a news release, Walsh said Pfeiffer made bond after his arrest and resumed his drug operation, becoming a “very active” heroin dealer throughout Norwalk.

Officers obtained a second arrest warrant for Pfeiffer, which they executed Thursday morning. Walsh said they located 51 bags of heroin packaged for street sale inside Pfeiffer’s bedroom.

Pfeiffer was charged with illegal manufacture, distribution or sale of heroin; illegal manufacture, distribution or sale of heroin within 1,500 feet of a school, public housing project or daycare center; possession of narcotics; and illegal possession of a narcotic within 1,500 feet of a school.

Pfeiffer was held on $100,000 bond and given a court date of June 27.
