GREENWICH, CT — Three Greenwich roommates were arrested on narcotics charges late last week following a police raid on their Bertolf Road home, announced Greenwich Police Capt. Robert Berry.
Arrested were Todd R. Fraiser, 33; Dshon Kyean McShaw, 28; and Malcolm L. Moody, 26, all of whom were suspected of drug dealing in and around the Adams Garden housing complex in Greenwich.
"This case was an excellent example of the hard work our investigators conduct in order to stem the flow of illegal narcotics entering our community," Berry said Monday. "Individuals, like drug dealers, who prey upon the vulnerable will continue to be a top enforcement priority of the Police Department."
