MAYOR ADMITS HE USED COCAINE
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Mayor John M. Fabrizi admitted yesterday he had
abused cocaine while in office and said he wanted to apologize "to
all the people of the city" but had no plans to resign.
The admission followed the inadvertent release of an FBI document in
which an alleged drug dealer claimed an associate had a videotape of
the mayor using cocaine.
In a tearful speech to about 200 city employees and residents in City
Council chambers yesterday, Fabrizi said he had not used drugs in 18
months and had sought help for a drug addiction that he had hoped to
handle privately.
