0:00It's March 31st. Hartford News Today starts now. AI-powered and ready. I'm Corey with the story. A 22-year-old from Milford named Connor Duceche just got arrested for his alleged role in a fatal drug overdose back in Fairfield last. December. Police say it all started on December 27, 2025, when first responders rushed to a home on Milplane Road for an Ann. Unresponsive guy. They tried everything to save him, but he died from a mix of cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol poisoning. Detectives linked Duceche to supplying the drugs and messing with evidence at the scene. He's facing charges like selling narcotics, tampering with evidence, and possession. His second bus for that. Fairfield cops are stressing how fentanyl keeps popping up in street drugs, turning regular highs into deadly traps. Duceche turned himself in on March 19th, posted $100,000 bond at first. He got released on a promise to appear. His next court dates April 17th in Bridgeport, and he hasn't pleaded yet.
