Kentwan Chappell of Bridgeport was arrested on Tuesday, March 5, by the Special Services Division on Cottage Street, said Norwalk Police Lt. Terrence Blake.
Chappell's arrest was in response to a tip received in January that he was selling heroin laced with fentanyl in Norwalk, police said.
An investigation was initiated and multiple controlled purchases of heroin were made from Chappell and an arrest and search warrants were obtained, Blake said.
