DANBURY, CT — Police charged a city man with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, among other drug violations, following an investigation on Friday.

The investigation into the activity of Lucas Ozorio Desouza, 26, also known as Lucas Cole, began after police received multiple citizen complaints throughout the city, according to Det. Lt. Mark Williams.

The Danbury Police Department began its surveillance of Desouza's Saw Mill Road residence around 9:30 Friday morning. Shortly before 1 p.m., police took Desouza into custody after they saw him enter a parked car owned by his girlfriend Jamie Singh, 27.

Desouza's bond was set at $100,000, Singh's at $50,000. Both are being held for bond pending arraignment or being released.
