A wife’s call leads to a large drug raid, attorney Brad Koffel discusses.
A Fairfield County man’s wife called 911 to bust a multi-million dollar drug operation. At the time of reporting, officers had not issued any charges against the accused, claiming they needed time to build up their case. The homeowner in question met with a reporter on the scene to claim that the accusations leveled against him were entirely fabricated.
While officers found smoking devices, concealment containers, and herbal substances on the scene, their case may not be watertight. An investigation revealed that the wife and husband were in the midst of a divorce at the time the wife reported her husband’s alleged scheme.
The wife also claims that her husband took her phone and hit her upon reporting his alleged business.
Brad Koffel, the attorney defending the accused, claimed that this is the wife’s spiteful attempt to get back at her husband and that the accusations may not reflect well on her as the investigation proceeds. He also claimed that there’s a chance officers’ findings may result in a civil case instead of a criminal one.
At the time of reporting, investigative labs still needed to report on what substances officers removed from the accused’s home before officers could proceed.
