Carter Blythe, 31, of 38 Old Mill Road in Quaker Hill was found at the mall in possession of cocaine.  A search-and-seizure warrant executed at his residence found cocaine, a shotgun, ammunition, a stun gun and body armor. New London Police charged Blythe with possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of cocaine and possession of marijuana. He was also served with an outstanding arrest warrant for two counts of sale of cocaine.  New London Police seized the cocaine and a vehicle at the scene of the arrest.
