    Stonington — Police on Tuesday executed a search-and-seizure warrant at a home on Farmholme Road, resulting in the arrest of a woman and the confiscation of numerous drugs.

    Denise Mary Depietro, 35, of 129 Farmholme Road was charged with three counts of possession of narcotics, three counts of possession of narcotics with intent to sell, operating a drug factory, possession of marijuana and risk of injury to a minor.
