Arrest made in Connecticut Russian roulette death

VERNON, Conn.--A Connecticut man has been arrested on weapons and drugs charges after police say his friend died during an apparent game of "Russian roulette," the Associated Press reports.

An arrest warrant affidavit released this week and obtained by the Journal Inquirer disclosed details about the death of 38-year-old Armand Cyr in Vernon July 13 and the arrest of his friend, 26-year-old John Dybowski.

The warrant says a friend of Cyr who was video-chatting with him saw Cyr shoot himself in the head in Dybowski's apartment.

The friend told police that Dybowski put the revolver to his head and pulled the trigger without incident before handing the gun to Cyr.

Police say they found drugs and guns in Dybowski's apartment.

Dybowski is detained on $100,000 bail. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.
