Troopers Seize 300 Baggies of Heroin, Cocaine Following Vehicle Pursuit and Foot Pursuit
 

   On February 13, 2017 at approximately 11:54 p.m. troopers from Troop H - Hartford observed a 2000 Toyota Avalon traveling on I-84 in West Hartford with improper registration plates.  Troopers attempted to initiate a motor vehicle stop, however the operator failed to stop and continued eastbound now at a high rate of speed.  

   The operator, Edwin Chevere, eventually crashed the Toyota on the I-84 eastbound exit 40 off-ramp in West Hartford.  Chevere then fled the scene on foot leading troopers on a foot pursuit. A short time later Chevere was located and taken into custody on I-84.

   Troopers located approximately 46.5 grams (300 baggies) of suspected heroin, 18.2 grams of suspected cocaine and a small amount of marijuana both on Chevere and in the Toyota.  Chevere also appeared to be intoxicated.

   Chevere was transported to Troop H - Hartford where he was fingerprinted and photographed.  The illegal narcotics were seized and transported to Troop H where they were held as evidence.

   Edwin Chevere (dob 11/13/1990), 22 Pleasant St., Bristol, was charged with Improper Use of a Marker Plate, Reckless Driving, Engaging Police in Pursuit, Evading Responsibility, Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol and/or Drugs, Failure to Drive in Proper Lane, Operating without a License, Possession with Intent to Sell, Illegal Possession of Narcotics, and Interfering with an Officer.  Chevere was released after posting $75,000.00 bond and is scheduled to appear at Hartford Superior Court on March 6, 2017.
