A New Haven man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for distributing crack.
Denis Williams, 33, also known as “Blanco,” was sentenced to 84 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for distributing crack cocaine.
The sentencing was announced by Deirdre M. Daly, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, on May 10, 2013.
According to court documents and statements made in court, in May 2011, the DEA received information that Williams was supplying crack cocaine and heroin to numerous drug customers in New Haven.
On June 2, 2011, law enforcement officers stopped a vehicle that Williams was driving and seized approximately three grams of crack packaged for street sale in 14 individually-wrapped bags.
A subsequent search of his Chatham Street residence revealed approximately 23 grams of crack, a handgun and $4946 in cash.
Williams, whose criminal history includes multiple prior felony drug convictions, has been detained since his arrest on June 2, 2011.
