DANIELSON — Three local men were arrested after the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force, resident troopers assigned to Killingly and Brooklyn and officers assigned to the Department of Correction parole Division conducted a Zero Tolerance Enforcement Operation Sept. 11

The operation targeted Killingly and East Brooklyn.  Troopers broke up into teams of two and were assigned a high crime area to conduct foot patrols.

The focus of the operation was to reduce nuisance/street crimes such as loitering, drug use/dealing, disturbances, reckless use of the roadways by pedestrians and others.  As a result of this initiative three arrests were made and eight infractions were issued for various offenses. 

Douglas Flannery, 49, of Reynolds Street in Danielson was charged with second-degree failure to appear.

Kevin Horton, 46, of Maple Street in Danielson was charged with second-degree failure to appear. 

Seth Barrows, 28, of Franklin Street in Putnam was charged with failure to respond.

This is the second zero tolerance operation that has taken place in Troop D’s area of operation this year. These operations were prompted after Troopers received numerous complaints from various business owners and citizens within the borough of Danielson and east Brooklyn. Troopers plan on conducting similar operations throughout the year in an effort to make both areas a safer and friendlier community for business owners, patrons, citizens and visitors to the town.
