FAIRFIELD, Conn. – A Bridgeport man was charged with selling prescription drugs in Fairfield and running a marijuana growing operation out of his home, according to police reports.

Police began investigating Peter Mozeleski, 72, of Bridgeport about a month ago on suspicion of selling prescription pills in Fairfield, police say. Officers obtained a search warrant for his home and car and searched both Thursday, according to the arrest report.

They found oxycodone and other pills, as well as three marijuana cigarettes in Mozeleski’s car, according to police reports. At his Bridgeport home they found more than eight ounces of packaged marijuana, along with seeds, lamps and soil, police say. Officers also found a notebook detailing plans to grow marijuana, according to police reports.

Mozeleski was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of narcotics, intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and a failure to keep prescription drugs in their original container. He released on a $20,000 bond and is due in court Feb. 11.
