By Register Staff
ANSONIA — Police early Wednesday nabbed eight suspects in connection with an early-morning drug bust at 15 Howard Ave.
According to Lt. Andrew Cota, police were serving a search warrant at 6:30 a.m. when one suspect jumped out a window and apparently swung on wires connected to the house and landed on the ground. The suspect ran through a side yard and escaped.
Police searched the area, and a police dog tracked the suspect to the house of friends at 35 Bassett St., where he was found hiding in the basement.
Four suspects at the Howard Avenue house were arrested in connection with drugs and four people in the Bassett Street house were charged with interfering with police for hiding the suspect, police said.
