Norwich police arrest alleged drug dealer

Norwich – After a four-month investigation, police arrested Tuesday night a local man who they say was selling drugs in the area.

Steven J.  Sabrowske Jr., 24, of 404 Boswell Ave., was charged with four counts of sale of crack cocaine.

Police said at 8:30 p.m. they conducted a motor vehicle stop on Summit Street and found Sabrowske inside the car.  He was charged because there was a warrant out for his arrest.

Sabrowske was found in possession of a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun and a Connecticut pistol permit. Police seized the gun along with $1,100 in cash.

Sabrowske is being held on a $150,000 bond, pending his arraignment today in Norwich Superior Court.
