Trumbull Police arrested a Stamford man Saturday, September 2, 2023, after he was found sleeping in a vehicle, along with over one pound of marijuana. Enzo Aleman, age 19, of Ursula Place, Stamford, was arrested for motor vehicle and criminal charges.
At approximately 9:00 AM, Trumbull officers were dispatched to investigate a motor vehicle that was parked on Woodridge Circle with its engine running since the night before. Police located a Honda Accord parked and occupied by two (2) males sleeping inside, and a registration plate from another vehicle. The investigating officer also noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside of the vehicle and located a backpack containing large clear bags of marijuana. Over seventy (70) smaller bags of marijuana were discovered, weighing in at over one and one-half pounds, and packaged for future sales.
The driver, Aleman, stated that they were in Bridgeport the night before but he got lost so they decided to park there to take a nap. Aleman said that the marijuana was all his and that this passenger had no part in this.
Aleman was transported to booking and charged with Misuse of Registration Plate, Failure to Maintain Minimum Insurance, and Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle. He was additionally charged criminally with Attempted Sale of Controlled Substance and Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was later released on a $7500 bond and is scheduled to appear in Bridgeport Superior Court on September 11, 2023.
