Stratford Police: Naugatuck Man Charged with Possession of 1.18 Pounds of Heroin with the Intent to Sell

It was an unlucky day for a Naugatuck man who crashed into a parked car while attempting to flee from police and was arrested on possession of heroin with the intent to sell charges.

Stratford police arrested Jonathan Lucky, 28, following a narcotics investigation into alleged sales of heroin.

During the investigation, investigators from Stratford Police Department along with those from the Statewide Narcotics Task Force observed Lucky as he pulled into the parking lot of a Walgreens in Bridgeport, according to Stratford police spokesperson Lt. Frank Eannotti.

Eannotti said the information developed in the case led investigators to believe that Lucky would be there to conduct a drug transaction.

Officers approached Lucky as he sat in his 2010 Jeep Cherokee and as they made contact with him, Lucky attempted to flee and struck a parked vehicle. He was subsequently taken into custody without incident.

At the time of arrest, Lucky was found to be in possession of $1,380 dollars and 1.18 pounds of heroin which was packaged in 2,001 individual folds, according to Eannotti.

Lucky was processed and charged with possession of heroin with intent to sell and held on a $500,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 17.

The accident was investigated by the Bridgeport Police Department.
