Posted By: David Fortier September 17, 2024

A local man was arrested last week for possession of narcotics with intent to sell and risk of injury to a child by local police working with an investigative team from New Haven, the Bristol Police Department announced in a release yesterday.

Thomas Faraci was arrested Thursday, Sept. 12, when Bristol Police Department Narcotic Enforcement Team (NET) working with members of the DEA New Haven Office executed a search and seizure warrant at 47 Atkins Ave.

Investigators found fentanyl, crack cocaine, a digital scale, ammunition and a facsimile handgun inside the residence.

The arrest was the result of an investigation that began in August, when Bristol NET received complaints that Faraci was conducting narcotics sales out of the Atkins Avenue address.

After investigating, NET obtained two arrest warrants. Faraci is being held on a $275,000 bond.

In the release, the Bristol Police extend their thanks to the DEA New Haven Office and the community for assisting with this investigation.

“NET is determined to combat illegal drug use and trafficking within the City of Bristol and the public is encouraged to contact us with any information related to illegal drug sales,” the release states.

Bristol Police Department has a voicemail and an email system designed to receive messages from citizens who wish to remain anonymous.

Anyone with information about criminal activity may also leave information at (860) 585-TIPS (8477) or BPDCrimeWatch@bristolct.gov.
