Local man also faces firearms charges.

Complaints of crack cocaine trafficking in the Success Avenue vicinity led to the arrest last week of a 43-year-old local man, police said Thursday.

Ronald Marcellus was charged Friday with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, operating a drug factory, criminal possession of a firearm, altering a firearm and theft of a firearm.

Marcellus gave police a Milford address but he uses multiple addresses in the area, Police Detective Sgt. David Gugliotti said.
