Angel Delgado, Cocaine Trafficking, Massachusetts 2025

BOSTON – In a move to dismantle a notorious drug trafficking organization (DTO), a Webster man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his involvement in distributing cocaine. Angel Delgado, 47, was sentenced on May 29, 2025, by U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni to seven years in prison, to be followed by four years of supervised release.

Delgado pleaded guilty in January 2025 to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. His troubles began in April 2024, when he was arrested and charged by criminal complaint. An investigation into the shipment of multiple kilogram-weight packages of suspected narcotics from Puerto Rico to Worcester County in Massachusetts led to Delgado's downfall.

In the spring of 2023, authorities began monitoring the shipment of packages from Puerto Rico. On at least eight occasions, Delgado was observed collecting suspicious packages believed to contain cocaine or other narcotics from addresses not associated with him and then delivering each package to another individual involved in the DTO.

During the investigation, two kilograms of cocaine were seized from a package that was addressed to Delgado. On April 30, 2024, Delgado's car was stopped after he was observed driving an individual who collected a package believed to contain cocaine. Once stopped, the package was opened and found to contain two kilograms of cocaine wrapped inside the box.

Delgado's involvement in the DTO was a significant blow to the organization's operations. His sentence serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in cocaine trafficking.

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley; Stephen Belleau, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, New England Field Division; and Ketty Larco-Ward, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service's Boston Division made the announcement today. Valuable assistance was provided by Southbridge Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kaitlin J. Brown of the Worcester Branch Office prosecuted the case.

The investigation and subsequent sentencing are a testament to the collaborative effort of law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts. Delgado's sentence serves as a warning to those involved in cocaine trafficking that they will be held accountable for their actions.
