Police: Darien Man, 20, Caught Selling Prescription Narcotics

A 20-year-old Darien man who is no stranger to police was arrested Wednesday night after officers conducting a surveillance operation reportedly observed him sell prescription narcotics.

The man, Scott Waters, of 5 Walmsley Rd., was arrested at 8:45 p.m. on April 9 on a charge of sale of a controlled substance.

Police said his arrest is the result of an investigation by the Darien Police Selective Enforcement Unit (S.E.U.) into the use and illegal sale of prescription narcotics within town. Waters was arrested on Heights Road after officers conducting surveillance developed information that he had illegally provided prescription narcotics to another person while in the Noroton section of Darien, according to the police report. 

After being processed at headquarters, Waters was released on a promise to appear in court on April 22. 

Police said the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests are expected.

Waters was arrested in August of last year on drug possession and forgery charges, and two years prior on a charge of second-degree assault, a Class D felony.

According to the state Judicial Branch website, Waters pleaded not guilty on the assault charge and is an accelerated rehabilitation program. His case from his August arrest is still pending.
