During the month of April, Darien Police became aware of illicit drug sales in the Noroton Heights section of town, and an investigation was initiated.

On Friday, May 12 another controlled buy was conducted for $400 worth of heroin and crack cocaine, police said.
The heroin later tested positive for fentanyl. When back in Bridgeport, Busanet, was taken into custody by Bridgeport Police.
