He also plead guilty to third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. In that case Coy Biviano admitted to selling cocaine and heroin last year in the City of Norwich.

After making the plea he told the court drug-related issues motivated his crimes and were the "root of evil in his life," he said.

“I’ve been dealing with these demons for 15 years,” he said. “I went straight from pills to heroin, and I’ve been made to feel shame by the ones closest to me.”

Coy Biviano said his family didn’t trust him because he stole to fuel his addiction and finding treatment had been incredibly difficult.

He said his addiction caused him to commit crimes and he wanted to receive help.
