A Derby man is facing charges for allegedly selling drugs in the Norwalk area, police say.

Dion James was arrested on Tuesday following an investigation into narcotics distribution within the greater

The investigation began in January after police received a complaint about James selling narcotics from his gray Mazda SUV.

Police say James was taken into custody at Stamford Superior Court. Following his arrest, officers seized 1.31 grams of crack cocaine, 2.73 grams of cocaine and over $1,000 from James' vehicle.
