Greenwich Man Arrested With Narcotics, Dangerous Weapon: Police

GREENWICH, CT — A 24-year-old Greenwich man was arrested on narcotics and weapons charges Monday night after police discovered he was in possession of knife and a controlled substance without a prescription, according to Greenwich police.

David R. Giacomara, of River Street, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over for a traffic stop at about 9:30 p.m. on West Putnam Avenue.

According to police, when initially interviewed, Giacomara gave a false name. "Having had several previous encounters with this subject, officers on scene were able to positively identify him."

A search of Giacomara turned up "several Suboxone sublingual films," which is a controlled substance for which Giacomara did not have a current prescription.

"He was also in possession of several used hypodermic needles, which he related he used to inject heroin, and a 'buck' knife with an approximately 4.5 inch blade," wrote police. "He did not provide any reasonable excuse for possessing this weapon."

Giacomara was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle and interfering with an officer.

He was released on a written promise to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Nov. 12.
