Wilton Police arrested Michael Czegledi and his girlfriend Laura Carlson August 27 after finding marijuana plants growing in the backyard of their home at 12 Gaylord Drive.
Police seized 11 marijuana plants that were about three feet high. Also the detectives seized literature for growing marijuana, a small quantity of marijuana buds, a digital scale, a water pipe and a smoke vaporizer. Carlson also had drug paraphernalia seized from her vehicle.
According to the police report detectives had obtained a search warrant after observing several of the plants in the backyard. The report also said that because of their previous history with Czegledi the police had reason to believe he was running a marijuana operation.
Czegledi, 40, arrived home during the search and was taken into custody. He has been charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and illegal manufacture of a controlled substance. He posted a $25,000 bond and will appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Sept. 7.
Carlson, 28, was also taken into custody and charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was released on a promise to appear and will also appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Sept. 7.
The search was conducted by the Wilton Police Department Detectives Division, the Wilton P.D. Patrol Division and a Westport P.D. K-9 unit.
