    Groton — Town police, assisted by the Regional Community Enhancement Task Force, on Thursday arrested Leanord Henry, who was wanted on drug-related charges.

    While conducting surveillance at a Groton hotel, task force officers said they observed Henry, who they knew had an outstanding arrest warrant, in the parking lot. Officers approached and arrested Henry without incident. At the time of arrest, Henry was found to be in possession of crack cocaine, marijuana and an undisclosed amount of money, all of which was seized as evidence, according to a news release. A 2007 Acura TL, which police said Henry used to commit his crimes, also was seized.

    Henry, 22, of 30 Grand St., New London, was charged with two counts of sale of narcotics, possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

    Henry was processed at Groton Town Police Headquarters and later posted a $200,000.00 bond. He is due to appear in court on Aug. 11.
