It was not a routine Target run on Tuesday in Milford, when a report of an intoxicated, nude woman inside the Fortune Boulevard store pulled police into what quickly became a drug arrest in the parking lot next door. Officers say they tracked a red Subaru Forester to the vacant Best Buy lot, detained three people, and recovered crack cocaine and fentanyl from inside the vehicle.
