A Connecticut man is facing a slate of drug charges following a traffic stop in Putnam County where deputies uncovered cocaine, prescription pills, and drug paraphernalia.
On Tuesday, deputies from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office pulled over 33-year-old Frederick Douglass Wolfolk on Interstate 84 in the Town of Southeast after observing multiple traffic violations. During the stop, deputies discovered that Wolfolk’s driver’s license was suspended.
In bodycam footage released by the sheriff’s office, a deputy can be heard asking Wolfolk, “Is there anything else in the car besides weed?” Wolfolk waves his hand and replies, “No, no.”
However, a subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a different story. In addition to marijuana, deputies found approximately 7.5 grams of cocaine, oxycodone tablets, drug packaging materials, and a crack pipe.
Wolfolk was arrested at the scene without incident and transported to the Putnam County Correctional Facility. He is facing numerous charges, including:
- Criminal possession of a controlled substance
- Criminal possession of a narcotic drug
- Criminally using drug paraphernalia
- Unlawful possession of cannabis
- Aggravated unlicensed operation
- Multiple vehicle and traffic infractions
He was arraigned in the Town of Southeast Court and has been released on his own recognizance.
