Stamford Advocate –
WEST HAVEN — Police have charged former councilwoman and bakery owner Louise Martone and her husband with crimes related to selling drugs out of the eatery after a “months-long investigation.”
Sgt. Patrick Buturla said the department’s street crime unit launched an investigation into “prescription oxycodone pills being illegally sold” from Louise’s Homemade Food and Baked Goods — a bakery located at 4 Ocean Avenue — in December 2020.
Police said they obtained warrants for the arrests of both Louise and Robert Martone, as well as a search warrant for the bakery at the end of the investigation, which were executed on June 4.
“A search of the business revealed numerous items of evidentiary value to include Oxycodone pills and cash,” Buturla said.
Ronald Martone turned himself in later, according to Buturla. He was charged with one count of conspiring to sell narcotics and another count of conspiring to illegally sell prescription drugs, Buturla added.
