WILLIMANTIC — A Willimantic man was arrested Wednesday after police said they found more than a half-pound of marijuana at his residence.

The department's Criminal Investigation Division served a search and seizure warrant at about 11 a.m. at the home of Luis Rivera, 28, of 25 Lafayette St., Willimantic. The Marijuana that was seized was processed and weighed in at slightly more than one-half of one pound, police said.

He was processed and released on a $10,000 bond pending a court date of Aug. 8 at Danielson Superior Court.

“The Willimantic Police Department reminds residents that should they suspect drug activity within the city, to contact the Willimantic Police Department," Cpl. Stanley Parizo, Jr. said. "All information received will be kept confidential.”
