Dayville Man Throws Drugs Out His Car Window, Plainfield K-9 Vail Finds Additional In His Car

On December 31, 2020 at approximately 7:52 P.M., the Plainfield Police Department arrested 29 year old David Demuth of Dayville. 

While conducting a patrol check of Citgo located at 65 East Main Street, Central Village, CT, an Officer observed a blue Subaru Outback exit the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The Officer attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop using its emergency lights and siren. The vehicle disobeyed the Officer’s signal, driving recklessly violating numerous motor vehicle laws and fled at a high rate of speed onto I-395 north where the operator was seen throwing an item from the vehicle.

A short time later the Officer was able to conduct a motor vehicle stop where Demuth was escorted from the vehicle and placed under arrest. The Plainfield Officer deployed his K-9 Vail, a male yellow Labrador trained in narcotics detection who was used to sniff the vehicle where K-9 Vail alerted to the presence of narcotics. A search of the vehicle was conducted where a large quantity of a controlled substance was located. Further investigation revealed that the Officer had interrupted a drug deal which is the reason Demuth fled the scene. It was also determined that Demuth destroyed evidence by throwing a large quantity of Fentanyl out the vehicle’s window prior to the stop. A large amount of U.S. currency was also located in the vehicle and seized.
