Gerardo Nunez-Irizarry, also known as ‘Indio,’ a 43-year-old man from Meriden, Connecticut, has been accused of trafficking fentanyl.
A federal grand jury in New Haven returned an indictment charging Nunez-Irizarry with possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between June and August 2021, law enforcement made multiple controlled purchases of fentanyl from Nunez-Irizarry.
In November 2021, Nunez-Irizarry agreed to sell a 50-gram quantity of fentanyl. On November 18, 2021, investigators stopped Nunez-Irizarry’s car in Meriden as he drove to an arranged location to complete the transaction and seized approximately 50 grams of fentanyl.
Nunez-Irizarry was arrested on state charges at that time and later arrested on a federal criminal complaint on March 24, 2022.
If convicted of the charge, Nunez-Irizarry faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and a maximum term of imprisonment of 40 years.
Nunez-Irizarry is currently released on a $100,000 bond.
