New Fairfield, CT – The job of a school resource officer usually goes unnoticed as they focus on building relationships with students and making sure each day goes smoothly, but for Police Officer Jason Cassavechia, at the Meeting House Hill School, the bottom line reason he is posted came to light.

On Monday, a man entered the school grounds and Cassavechia was notified. An adult male subject was seen smoking on school property. After investigating, Officer Cassavechia noticed the man was under the influence of alcohol, and during the process of placing him under arrest, he found a loaded gun.
