Todd Jarvis, 54, and Kylei Brown, 24, of Winooski, Vermont, were caught with a large stash of cocaine base and fentanyl during a traffic stop on May 10, 2026. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) had been surveilling Jarvis, who was suspected of engaging in drug trafficking in the greater Burlington area. The surveillance revealed that Jarvis was making frequent trips to New York City and was associated with multiple drug-involved locations. Brown frequently accompanied him on these trips.
During the traffic stop in Shelburne, Vermont, Brown was driving, and Jarvis was the passenger. A search of Jarvis’ person revealed approximately 510 grams of suspected cocaine base and 24 grams of suspected fentanyl in his vest pocket. A subsequent search of their Winooski apartment turned up additional suspected controlled substances and drug trafficking paraphernalia.
Jarvis appeared before United States Magistrate Judge Kevin J. Doyle on May 12, 2026, and was ordered to be detained pending trial. Brown is scheduled to have her initial appearance later. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison.
The DEA’s investigation led to the seizure of a significant amount of cocaine base and fentanyl, which could have ended up on the streets of Vermont. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat drug trafficking in the state.
