Stamford Police Arrest Three on Drug Charges

Stamford authorities arrested three men following a Narcotics & Organized Crime sting Tuesday afternoon, police reported Wednesday. 

According to Capt. Richard Conklin, N&OC units received information that a Jeremy James "Rock" Robinson was in possession of a quantity of crack cocaine and was in the process of selling it. 

While conducting a surveillance operation in the area of Atlantic and Woodland Streets, they witnessed a Buick being operated by a Juwan Gonsalves, containing Robinson, make an illegal U-turn, Conklin said. The vehicle was stopped and police discovered it was not insured or registered and the license plates did not belong to the vehicle, he said.

In the vehicle were Robinson, 21, of 2900 Main Street in Bridgeport, Gonsalves, 20, of 728 Arctic Street in Bridgeport and Brandon Dixon, 24, of 489 Jackson Avenue in Stratford.

The captain said an inventory of the vehicle was taken prior to towing it, and, in the center console, bags of crack cocaine, heroin and marijuana were discovered. 
In total, Conklin said the following was recovered:

• 8 baggies of marijuana totaling 5.5 grams and a street value of roughly $80 to $160 
  
• 18 baggies with small quantities of crack cocaine and 3 baggies with  large quantities of crack cocaine totaling 12.1 grams and a street value of roughly $1,200
