After Norwalk police saw a 38-year-old man selling drugs, then saw him commit several motor vehicle violations, they stopped him and, with the help of Darien K-9 Kenny, found 48 small bags of cocaine in his car, Norwalk police said. Norwalk police gave this further account of what happened, including accusations not proven in court:

A surveillance operation was conducted the night of March 15 in the area of Taylor Avenue in Norwalk, when they saw Francis Bruno selling drugs. After Bruno got in his car and drove away, police stopped it in a parking lot at 497 Connecticut Ave. That’s when Norwalk police were visited by Darien police dog Kenny and his canine officer. Kenny indicated the presence of a narcotic owner in the vehicle, which was searched and yielded 24 grams of cocaine in powder form, packaged in 48 separate bags, each with 1.15 or 3.7 grams of the narcotic.
