The recent arrest of a Newtown man on 11 counts of child sexual abuse imagery possession, according to new details released in the warrant for his arrest, was the culmination of a police investigation that stemmed from an earlier probe into accusations that he supplied cigarettes to a minor. 64 year old Gary Buzzanca… a Newtown gas station owner… is facing felony charges after turning himself in on a warrant August 30. It remains unclear if that investigation was the same one that led to Buzzanca’s arrest earlier this year on other charges, including commercial sexual abuse of a minor, harmful communication with a minor and enticing a minor. Buzzanca was released from custody after posting a $100,000 bond.
