Man Arrested for Second Time This Month on Drug Charges: Danbury Police

DANBURY, CT — For the second time this month, a Division Street man has been arrested on drug charges following a SWAT raid at his apartment, according to Danbury Police Lt. Mark Williams.

Raymond Henderson, 61, was arrested Wednesday after police and SWAT Team members executed a search warrant at the apartment he rents on Division Street. Williams said five occupants were detained, all of whom were known drug users and some had a history of drug sales.

Henderson was found with crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia, according to Williams.

Investigators executed a similar search warrant at Henderson's apartment on March 2 and detained nine people. Henderson and Anthony "Lewis" Jones, 50, of Danbury were arrested on cocaine and heroin distribution charges at that time.

Court records show Henderson was released on a $10,000 bond and returned to his apartment to continue with illegal drug sales. Williams says investigators detected "fresh activity" consistent with drug trafficking leading to the issuance of a second warrant.

He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia within 1,500 feet of a school, possession of crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine within 1,500 feet of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is being held for a cash bond of $25,000 pending arraignment.
