Police say that just before 10:30 a.m. on February 7th, Putnam County 911 received a call about a white Ford F-150 heading westbound on Route 6 that was allegedly all over the road. Carmel officers began searching the area and eventually found the truck parked at the BP gas station on Route 6.

When officers approached the vehicle, they say the driver was behaving suspiciously. A quick records check revealed that the registered owner of the truck had an active, extraditable warrant out of the New York State Police in Queensbury. Police identified the driver as 46-year-old Steven J. Bisordi of Mahopac, who matched the registered owner.

Authorities say a K9 unit alerted to the presence of narcotics, leading to the discovery of fentanyl, multiple glass pipes, and other drug paraphernalia on Bisordi and inside the vehicle. Officers also reported finding an imitation firearm in the truck.

Bisordi has been charged with two counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 7th Degree and one count of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the 4th Degree, all misdemeanor charges. He was processed at Carmel Police Headquarters and later released on appearance tickets. He’s due back in Carmel Justice Court at a later date.

The Carmel Police Department is asking anyone with additional information about the incident to contact them at 845-628-1300.

6 Everyday Connecticut Things That Outsiders Think We’re Totally Making Up

If you live in Connecticut long enough, you forget that the rest of America has no idea what we’re talking about half the time. We drop references to things like “Wethersfield Pizza Wars,” “the Mixmaster,” or “UConn women’s expectations” like they’re universal topics everyone everywhere discusses over coffee. But the moment an out-of-state visits, you remember oh right, none of this is normal. Connecticut is full of quirks that are perfectly reasonable to us and completely baffling to everyone else.

Highest Nip Sales in Greater Danbury for 2025

Nips are one of Connecticut’s great divides—people either love them or hate them. Fans say they’re fun and harmless; critics say they’re trash, literally. The state’s Nickel-Per-Nip program was meant to clean things up by sending five cents from every sale back to local towns, but opinions are split on whether it’s working. According to Wine & Spirit Wholesalers of Connecticut, the stats below cover the April 1–Sept. 30, 2025 period for the Greater Danbury Area.
