KILLINGLY — A Killingly man was arrested on heroin charges Dec. 21. 

Francisco “Cisco” Fraustro, 39, was charged with possession of heroin and possession of heroin with intent.

Troopers assigned to the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force and Troopers from Troop D were conducting surveillance of the footbridge in Danielson in the area of Prospect Avenue.  This effort was prompted after numerous concerned citizens and business owners expressed concern over the increased narcotic dealing in the downtown Danielson area.  Troopers observed Fraustro conduct hand-to-hand drug deals on and around the footbridge. Troopers were familiar with Fraustro from an incident on 11/03/2015 where members of the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force executed a narcotics related search warrant on Fraustro and arrested him on narcotic-related charges.

Fraustro admitted to police that he had heroin on his person and as a result, 85 bags of heroin, pre-packaged for sale were seized.

He was arrested a month ago.
