Repeat Drug Trafficker Nabbed in Danbury: Police

DANBURY, CT — The police arrested a man they had nabbed last August, once again for dealing drugs in Danbury.

The new, weeks-long investigation into the activities of Christopher Marcos, 23, of 41 Osborne Street in Danbury, was initiated following complaints from citizens, as was the investigation last year. Once the drug trafficking complaints were corroborated, the police obtained search warrants for Marcos' home, phone, car and person.

Last August, police nabbed Marcos when he was attempting to deposit drug proceeds at a local bank. This time around, police established surveillance of Marcos' residence on Wednesday, and approached him while his vehicle was stuck in traffic once he left his home. According to police, Marcos "repeatedly refused to exit his vehicle" when ordered, and had to be forcibly extricated.

Following a search, police found Marcos to be in possession of several hundred dollars in U.S. currency and "a substantial quantity of illicit drugs," according to the police report.

Marcos was placed under arrest and transported to Danbury police headquarters, where he was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell less than a half-ounce, possession of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a prohibited place, possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a prohibited place, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of drug paraphernalia within 1,500 feet of a prohibited place, and interfering with a search.

Bond was set at $150,000.
