JESUS MANUEL VALLE, 24, ALSO KNOWN AS ‘LOLO,’ OF EAST HAVEN, WAS SNUFFED OUT IN COURT LAST WEEK FOR HIS ROLE IN A MAJOR NARCOTICS DISTRIBUTION RING. ACCORDING TO U.S. ATTORNEY JOHN Durham, THE RECKLESS YOUNG GUN NOW STANDS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO DISTRIBUTE HEROIN, COCAINE, AND COCAINE BASE (CRACK), PLUS A STIFF TOLL FOR POSSESSING A FIREARM IN FURTHERANCE OF A DRUG TRAFFICKING CRIME.
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST VALLE IS OVERWHELMING. COURTS HAVE DOCUMENTED THAT POLICE SWarmed his Charter Oak Avenue pad, where they UNCOVERED NEARLY 17 GRAMS OF HEROIN READY FOR SALE, ADDITIONALLY THIRTY-FIVE GRAMS OF LOOSE HEROIN, SEVENTEEN GRAMS OF COCAINE, NINE GRAMS OF CRACK, AND THE TOOLS OF A DRUG DEALER. THE GUNFIRE WASN’T FAR BEHIND EITHER; THEY FOUND A LOADED RUGER .44 MAGNUM HANDGUN, READY FOR ACTION.
THE COURT’S EYES WERE OPENED AS VALLE STOOD BEFORE JUDGE Jeffrey A. Meyer, WHO SENTENCED THE YOUNG MAN TO WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 25, 2020, FOR HIS DAY IN COURT. IF FOUND GUILTY, HE FACES UP TO 20 YEARS BEHIND BARS AND A CONSECUTIVE FIVE-YEAR TERM FOR HIS FIREARM INFRACTION.
WITH A BOND SET AT $250,000, VALLE WANDERS THE STREETS OF EAST HAVEN IN THE MEANTIME. BUT THIS ISN’T OVER YET—THE CASE IS BEING PROSECUTED BY ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY JOSEPH Vizcarrondo, AND THE DEA BRIDGEPORT HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREA (HIDTA) TASK FORCE, ALONG WITH THE FBI AND EAST HAVEN POLICE, ARE ON IT.
