Three Enfield residents were arrested Thursday after local police and federal agents executed a search and seizure warrant at a Thompsonville home.
Nathan Snape, 36, and Kaley Brucker, 23, both of 14-B Windsor St., and Miguel Carrucini, 30, of 134-A Pearl St., were each charged with possession of narcotics, possession of a hallucinogen and possession of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a school/daycare. Snape and Brucker were also charged with possession/use of drug paraphernalia, while Snape is charged with sale of certain illegal drugs.
Snape was held on $100,000 bond, while Brucker and Carrucini each had $25,000 bonds.
The arrests were the culmination of an investigation that lasted several months, Police Chief Carl Sferrazza said.
Around 12:45 p.m. Thursday, local officers, Hartford police officers and agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency converged at the duplex on Windsor Street. Two suspects tried to leave, but were detained while a police narcotics detection canine searched the home, Sferrazza said.
Police found bags of rock cocaine, razor blades, scales, sandwich bags and packaging equipment, as well as quantities of synthetic marijuana. A "false book", in which a large hole is cut into book pages, was found to contain more than $1,200 in cash, Sferrazza said.
"Anytime you make a drug arrest it's a good day, but when you shut down a drug house in a residential neighborhood, it's a great day," Sferrazza said.
