Man Sold Cocaine, Heroin Out Of Home: Wallingford Police

WALLINGFORD, CT — A Wallingford man with a history of drug-related convictions is accused of selling cocaine and heroin out of his home, according to police.

Police received information that Christopher Slauson, 38, was selling drugs out of his home on Mellor Road, leading to a lengthy investigation and a search warrant, according to Lt. Michael Colavolpe. Police executed the search warrant Monday, resulting in the seizure of approximately 41 grams (1 ½ ounce) of cocaine and 10 grams of heroin, according to Colavolpe.

“Additionally, LSD tablets, steroids, cash, and digital scales were found,” Colavolpe wrote in a press release. “Numerous types of packaging materials to include a stamp for stamping heroin bags was seized. Dealers will often use a stamp of a specific insignia so customers can identify a dealer’s product.”

Colavolpe said Slauson has four previous convictions for possession with intent to sell and/or sales of narcotics. Most recently, he was convicted of possession of a controlled substance and his probation for that offense ended on June 5, according to Colavolpe.

Slauson was charged Monday with two counts of possession of narcotics with intent to sell (cocaine/heroin), four counts of possession of a controlled substance (cocaine/heroin/LSD/steroids), operating a drug factory, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was detained on a $250,000 bond and will be arraigned in Meriden Superior Court on July 30 if he doesn’t make bond, according to Colavolpe.
