WATERBURY — State troopers arrested two men after allegedly finding them with 800 bags of heroin, along with a stash of crack, cocaine and cash.

Eugene “Honeyblue” Easton and Anthony Wall, both of Waterbury, were stopped by police Wednesday on Route 8. Their vehicle was searched by a dope-sniffing canine. Along with the drugs, police found $2,429 in cash.

Turns out the pair was the target of a long investigation by the Statewide Narcotics Task Force, who were looking to bust up a heroin ring operating in greater Waterbury.

They were charged with possession of heroin, possession of more than a 1/2 ounce of heroin, possession of crack cocaine and possession of cocaine.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court today. Police said the investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected.
