Suspect Busted On Narcotics, Interfering With Officer Charges: PD

NORWALK, CT — A 45-year-old Bridgeport man, who was wanted by Norwalk police on failure to appear charges, was arrested over the weekend and found to be in possession of "several pieces of crack cocaine and a small amount of marijuana," according to authorities.

Brian Davis was apprehended on Saturday after police received a tip that he would be heading to the Courtyard by Marriott on Main Avenue.

Officers spotted him in his vehicle on Main Avenue and tried to pull him over, but he initially refused to stop and kept driving at a slow rate of speed, police said.

He eventually pulled over, but when officers ordered Davis to get out of the car, he refused to comply.

"When officers attempted to arrest him, Davis tensed up his arms and legs and held on to the door jamb and the seat belt as officers were attempting to place him under arrest," wrote police in a statement. "Once he was arrested he was searched and found to have several pieces of crack cocaine and a small amount of marijuana on his person."

Davis was charged with the following:

• Disobeying the signal of an officer
• Interfering with an officer
• Possession of a controlled substance
• Possession with intent to sell narcotics
• Possession of a controlled substance within 1,500ft of a day care
• Possession with intent to sell narcotics within 1,500ft of a day care
• Failure to Appear, first degree
• Failure to Appear, second degree

He was held in lieu of bail of $70,000, and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Jan. 22.
