DaQuone Johnson, Heroin Distribution, Connecticut 2016
A Bridgeport man has been convicted of distributing heroin in a case linked to a fatal overdose.
DaQuone Johnson, 24, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of heroin in New Haven federal court.
The charge stems from an investigation into the death of a 30-year-old woman who was found unresponsive at a residence in Monroe on May 9, 2016.
Police and medical personnel responded to the scene and administered Narcan to the victim, but she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
An investigation revealed that the victim had ordered heroin from Johnson on the day of her death, and a controlled purchase of heroin was made from Johnson on June 13, 2016.
Johnson is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson on June 22, 2017, and faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years.
Johnson is currently out on a $125,000 bond pending sentencing.
The case has been investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Haven Tactical Diversion Squad and local police departments.
The Tactical Diversion Squad is a multi-agency task force that includes law enforcement from several Connecticut towns and cities.
Johnson is set to be sentenced in Hartford, where he will face the consequences of his actions.
