Frankie "Blue" Moore, 68, of Stamford, was arrested on Thursday, Nov. 7, following a traffic stop by Officer Tim Inverno, said Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin.
According to Conklin, Inverno, a longtime member of the Narcotics and Organized Crime squad, got word on the street that Moore was selling Fentanyl.
When he spotted Moore driving he pulled him over and during a search found nine folds of Fentanyl, stamped with "Takeover," along with a straw with drug residue and $71 in cash, Conklin said.
Inverno then contacted the Narc squad who was able to get a warrant for Moore's home after he declined to have it searched, Conklin said.
