Chaz Reddick, Narcotics Distribution and Ammunition Offenses, Connecticut 2021

West Haven Man Sentenced to 4 Years in Federal Prison for Narcotics and Ammunition Offenses

A West Haven man has been sentenced to 4 years in federal prison for narcotics distribution and ammunition possession offenses. Chaz Reddick, 39, of West Haven, was sentenced to 48 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for possession with intent to distribute cocaine base (‘crack’) and possession of ammunition by a felon.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in 2021, West Haven Police made three controlled purchases of crack cocaine from Reddick. Reddick was arrested on April 20, 2021. On that date, a court-authorized search of his apartment revealed approximately 160 grams of crack, items used to process and package narcotics for street sale, and multiple rounds of ammunition.

Reddick’s criminal history includes state felony convictions for firearm, drug, and larceny offenses. It is a violation of federal law for someone previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.

Reddick has been detained since his arrest. On December 6, 2021, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine base (‘crack’) and one count of possession of ammunition by a felon.

This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s New Haven Safe Streets/Gang Task Force and the West Haven Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Conor M. Reardon and Kenneth L. Gresham.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the violent crime reduction efforts in Connecticut. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.
