A Danbury man, who police called a known drug dealer, has been arrested on a number of charges following a traffic stop. Danbury Police pulled a car over yesterday near West Wooster Street and Fairview Avenue for having excessively tinted windows.
The officer recognized the driver, 35-year old James Franklin Anderson, as the subject of a warrant. During a search of the car, police found an unregistered high capacity magazine, a vape with THC cartridge, a 9mm handgun, 11 rounds of live ammunition, and a small digital scale. Three cell phones and nearly $900 in cash were also found.
Anderson was charged with distribution of a controlled substance within 1,500 feet of a school, criminal possession of a pistol or revolver, and other crimes because he did not have a driver's license or a pistol permit.
Anderson was held on $100,000 bond.
