BROOKLYN/KILLINGLY — Two Brooklyn men were arrested on drug charges after traffic stops Oct. 28
Eric Reissmann, 53, of 9 Plaza St., was charged with possession of narcotics.
Charlie Clavell, 49, of 29 Tiffany St., was charged with possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics with intent to sell.
Members of the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force teamed up with the Brooklyn and Killingly Resident Troopers Office in an effort to suppress on going narcotics activity in the East Brooklyn area. Numerous complaints have been made by concerned citizens regarding open air drug dealing.
Troopers stopped a vehicle on South Main Street in Brooklyn for several traffic violations. Troopers suspected narcotics may be present in the car and K9 Ambrie, a Labrador narcotic sniffing canine, alerted to a natural void in the center console of the car.
Troopers said they found crack cocaine. Reissmann admitted he hid the crack cocaine in the void before he was pulled over.
Later troopers stopped a car on Rt. 6 in Killingly near Rt. 12 for a motor vehicle violation and recognized the passenger as Clavell from previous police-related contacts. Troopers became suspicious narcotics might be on his person and K9 Ambrie gave a very strong alert to his waistband area. Clavell later admitted to having “crack cocaine” hidden in his pants and numerous clear plastic knotted bags of “crack cocaine” packaged for sale were seized by Troopers.
Members of the Connecticut State Police are committed to combating drug activity in the “Quiet Corner” and anyone with information regarding the illegal sale of narcotics are encouraged to call the Troop D QLTF anonymous Tips Hotline at 860-779-4950 or message the QLTF Facebook page.
