The Norwalk Police Department Special Services Division has arrested a Norwalk man following a narcotics investigation targeting the sale of illegal controlled substances within the City of Norwalk.
On Monday, August 3, 2026, members of the Norwalk Police Department Special Services Division, with assistance from the Tactical Response Team (TRT), conducted an enforcement operation involving Maurice Pickett.
At the time of his arrest, Pickett was the subject of four outstanding arrest warrants charging him with the possession and sale of controlled substances, as well as one outstanding arrest warrant for Violation of Probation.
