A 53-year-old Bronx, New York man was sentenced to 18 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for trafficking cocaine in Fairfield County, Connecticut.
Dominick Ribustello was sentenced by Senior U.S. District Judge Warren W. Eginton in Bridgeport on March 18, 2014, after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, cocaine.
