Danbury Police make drug trafficking arrest

On 07/18/2019, Amarpreet Sidhu and Patrick Rodrigues were arrested by members of the Special Investigations Division in regard to drug trafficking within the City of Danbury, CT. The arrest was the result of a several-month investigation, which began after investigators received citizen complaints about Amarpreet Sidhu selling illegal drugs from the area of 7 Padanaram Rd., and throughout the city. As investigators corroborated the complaints through different investigative techniques, the superior court issued search and seizure warrants for the search of Patrick Rodrigues’ residence at 7 Padanaram Rd., unit #84.

Yesterday, July 18, at approximately 2:00 pm, investigators, with the assistance of the Danbury Regional SWAT team, members of the Patrol Division and members of the Brookfield Police Department executed the above-mentioned search and seizure warrant for the residence at 7 Padanaram Rd., unit #84. Sidhu and Rodrigues were found in the residence with a third male, who was identified as David Snyder. As a result of the search several ounces of powder cocaine, crack cocaine and fentenyl were seized. Additionally, several packets of suboxone, a substantial quantity of LSD, several hundred dollars and a loaded 9mm pistol were found.

Based on our investigation and findings, Amarpreet Sidhu and Patrick Rodrigues were charged with the listed offenses and held for a cash bond pending release or arraignment. In regard to Sidhu, the Brookfield Police Department has an outstanding arrest warrant for his arrest related to drug sales. As he is on parole for a previous conviction he will also be remanded to the custody of the CT Department of Corrections. David Snyder was found to be in possession of a small quantity of crack cocaine and was charged accordingly. He was later released from custody for a written promise to appear in court at a later date and time.
