Brandt Mendelson Charged with Meth Trafficking in Connecticut

A Danbury man is facing serious consequences after being charged with methamphetamine trafficking in Connecticut. Brandt Mendelson, 30, was indicted by a federal grand jury in New Haven on June 17, 2025, and arrested on a $100,000 bond.

According to court documents, on January 18, 2025, Mendelson was driving a vehicle when he was stopped by the Wallingford Police for driving under the influence. At the time of his arrest, police found numerous counterfeit Adderall pills containing methamphetamine, packaged to be shipped through the U.S. Mail.

As alleged in the indictment, Mendelson is charged with possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture and substance containing methamphetamine. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and a maximum term of imprisonment of 40 years.

U.S. Attorney David X. Sullivan stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt, and Mendelson is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Wallingford Police Department, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathaniel J. Gentile handling the prosecution.

Mendelson’s arrest and indictment are a reminder of the ongoing battle against methamphetamine trafficking in Connecticut. The consequences of such crimes can be severe, and law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to combat these threats.

The indictment and subsequent arrest of Mendelson are a significant step forward in the investigation, and law enforcement officials are committed to bringing those responsible for these crimes to justice.
