According to the Middletown Press: (by Alex Gecan)
An East Haddam man is facing drug and other charges after police found a syringe on him.
Police arrested Joshua Martin, 20, of Norwich Salem Road in East Haddam after searching him on Main Street Wednesday.
An officer saw Martin making “furtive movements” in the back of a car stopped on the 500 block of Main Street, police said. In one pocket, an officer found “two wax bags indicative of narcotics packaging. Contained inside the bags there was a small amount of an off-white residue.”
The officer asked Martin if had any needles on him, and Martin said he did not, but when patting down another pocket, the officer “could feel a long cylindrical object resembling that of a hypodermic needle used to administer intravenous narcotics,” police said.
