Accused Enfield Drug Dealer Charged on 2014 Warrants

ENFIELD, CT — A local man who has been sought by police for nearly three years with multiple warrants was taken into custody Monday night.

William Preston, 25, was charged with three counts each of sale of certain illegal drugs and sale of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a school. Bond was set at $175,000, Deputy Police Chief Gary Collins said.

From September to November 2014, police conducting an undercover narcotics investigation made three separate purchases of heroin from Preston in the area of High and Pearl streets. Warrants for his arrest were obtained, but he has eluded authorities since, Collins said.
