NAUGATUCK, CT — Two men are facing charges after police raided Sullivan's Cafe in Naugatuck this week following numerous complaints about drug-related activity there, according to authorities.

Craig Cordon, 47, an employee at the cafe, and customer Jason Franklin, 51, were each charged with selling narcotics near a prohibited place and possession of a controlled substance after Naugatuck police executed a search warrant at the business Thursday.
