Gordon was given a urine test and had cocaine and marijuana in his system, Wilton Sgt. Chad Abbott said.
Gordon’s son, Seth Gordon, 23, of Wilton was picked up Saturday on a violation of condition of release charge by Wilton police. He had failed a drug test and had cocaine in his system, Abbott said.
He pleaded guilty to unlawful furnishing of a scheduled drug — morphine in September.
The two men are being held without bail. They are scheduled to be sentenced in November.
They are two of five co-defendants in the case.
