Bridgeport Man Charged with Operating Waterbury Drug Factory
​
A 41-year-old man from Bridgeport was arrested in Waterbury on drug charges. 

City and state police were investigating narcotics activity in the area.  They noticed a suspicious, unregistered vehicle parked near 928 North Main Street.  Upon investigation, they found 179.9 grams of marijuana allegedly for sale, along with drug paraphernalia.

The man was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including operating a drug factory.  The charges suggest this was more than just possession, but potentially a drug distribution operation.

This arrest appears to be part of ongoing efforts by local and state law enforcement to combat drug-related crimes in the Waterbury area.
