Connecticut State Police troopers have seized about 28 pounds of heroin worth an estimated $1 million after pulling over a Chicago man.

A state police spokeswoman says troopers were conducting traffic enforcement on Route 15 in Stratford on Tuesday when they pulled over a car for a moving violation.

After the troopers learned that narcotics might be in the vehicle, a drug-sniffing dog was called in to assist in the search and found the packaged heroin.

The driver, 50-year-old Jose Adorno, was charged with possession of heroin with intent to sell.

Law enforcement usually have a pretty good idea about how much a gram COSTs on the street from when they arrest druggies and small-time crooks.
