Greenwich Police Narcotics Detectives recently investigated the illegal sale and distribution of 7 Hydroxy, a kratom product, within the Town of Greenwich. During the investigation, it was determined that Trevor Singer of New York was selling illegal kratom products from his vehicle to people in Greenwich.

On August 25th, 2026, Singer was arrested and charged with the following:

C.G.S.  21a-277(a)(1)(A) – Sale of a Controlled Substance

C.G.S.  21a-279a – Possession of a Controlled Substance

C.G.S. 21a-277(a)(1)(A) – Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Sell

C.G.S.  21a-277c – Operating a Drug Factory

At the time of Singer’s arrest, investigators recovered more than $20,000 worth of illegal kratom products.

Singer was assigned a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at Stamford Superior Court.

Community Awareness

Kratom, in all forms, including its two primary alkaloids, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH/ 7 Hydroxy), is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in Connecticut and is illegal to possess or sell.

The Greenwich Police Department encourages parents and guardians to familiarize themselves with these products and talk with their children about the risks associated with their use. These substances may be sold in commercially packaged forms such as tablets, capsules, powders, liquids, or extracts. Packaging that resembles other over-the-counter or commercially available products does not mean the substance is legal or safe.

Products containing 7-OH aka 7 Hydroxy can produce powerful opioid-like effects. High doses can cause respiratory depression, extreme sedation, vomiting, loss of consciousness, and potentially fatal overdose.

Awareness and education are important parts of prevention. Parents and guardians are encouraged to have open conversations with young people about these substances, pay attention to unfamiliar products or packaging, and understand the serious health and legal risks associated with kratom and 7-OH products in Connecticut.

On the morning of August 28, the Greenwich Police Department Traffic Section was conducting traffic enforcement near East Putnam Avenue and Hillside Road for the first day of school.

At approximately 7:35 a.m., officers observed a motorcycle traveling westbound on East Putnam Avenue while using the eastbound lanes to pass a line of vehicles stopped at a red light near Hillside Road.

The area was experiencing heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic at the time, including students walking to school and motorists traveling toward Greenwich High School. The motorcycle was carrying an operator and a female passenger.

After observing the dangerous behavior, motorcycle officers attempted to stop the motorcycle. However, the operator continued through the red light at Hillside Road and traveled westbound toward Overlook Drive. Officers were subsequently able to direct the motorcycle to the side of the road and stop it.

Based on the operator’s initial failure to stop and the officers’ training and experience with similar incidents involving motorcycle and electric bicycle operators fleeing on foot, officers held the operator’s arm to prevent him from fleeing.

During the stop, the operator initially resisted officers multiple times and repeatedly reached toward his waistband while officers attempted to safely check the area. Officers were ultimately able to gain control of the operator.........

As students returned to school for Orientation Day, our Traffic Section was out in our school areas helping keep students, families, and motorists safe.

During today’s traffic enforcement efforts, officers conducted 33 motor vehicle stops, issued 21 infractions, and gave 8 warnings. The highest speed recorded was 55 mph in a 30 mph zone on East Putnam Avenue near Cardinal Stadium at approximately 9:15 a.m.

With the new school year beginning, we are asking everyone to slow down and give themselves a little extra time on the road. Please remain alert for students walking and biking to school, yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, obey school-zone speed limits, and always stop for school buses displaying flashing red lights.

School traffic means more buses, pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles sharing our roads. A few extra seconds of patience can make a difference.

Please slow down, stay alert, and help us keep our students safe as they head back to school.

Happy Orientation Day to all of our students!

CIO Paladino and K-9 Mason spent the day visiting our schools and welcoming students as they arrived for orientation. Mason is already hard at work....and it’s safe to say he is a big hit!

As students settle back into the classroom, Mason can help provide a calm and welcoming presence in the school environment. He is specially trained to detect changes in cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress, and can respond with trained behaviors designed to provide comfort and support. His presence can be especially helpful for students who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or simply adjusting to a new school year.

We wish all of our students, families, teachers, and school staff a safe and successful start to the school year. We have a feeling Mason is going to make plenty of new friends along the way!

As our students head back to school, keeping them safe is a responsibility we all share. The Greenwich Police Department is reminding drivers to slow down, stay alert, and know the rules when approaching a school bus.

It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus when its red signal lights are flashing. Drivers must stop and remain stopped until the red lights are no longer flashing and the bus resumes movement.

When you see flashing amber lights, slow down and prepare to stop. They indicate that the school bus is preparing to stop to pick up or drop off students.

Children may be entering, exiting, or crossing the roadway, so please put distractions away, be patient, and never attempt to pass a stopped school bus.

Know the law. Stop for school buses. Help keep our students safe.

With the first official full day of school this Friday, the Greenwich Police Department reminds our community to make crosswalk and pedestrian safety a priority as students return to school.

Parents and guardians, take a few minutes to talk with your children about safely crossing the street. Encourage them to use designated crosswalks whenever available, stop and look both ways before crossing, and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the roadway. Remind children to stay alert and avoid distractions such as phones or headphones while walking near traffic.

Drivers should expect increased pedestrian activity around schools, bus stops, neighborhoods, and intersections. Please slow down, stay alert, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and be prepared to stop for pedestrians. Use extra caution during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal times, when more children will be walking and biking in our community.

Students should never assume that a driver sees them. Before crossing, stop, look, listen, and make sure vehicles have come to a complete stop.

As we begin a new school year, patience and attention from everyone on the road can help make the trip to and from school safer for our students.
