He's accused of selling the products to teenagers in Fairfield and the surrounding area, and police said some of the products "made these young buyers sick from the inhalation." Belounis was charged with risk of injury to a minor and sale of a controlled substance. Bridgeport police also charged him with possession of a stolen firearm after Fairfield officers found a gun during their search of his home. Belounis was held on a $150,000 court-set bond. The "lengthy investigation" into the marijuana sales was conducted by the Fairfield Police Detective Bureau, officers said.
