New Haven Man Sentenced to 40 Months in Federal Prison for Role in Heroin Ring
BRIDGEPORT – In a significant blow to the heroin trade in New Haven, 55-year-old Todd Beilby was sentenced yesterday to 40 months of imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release, for his role in a heroin distribution ring.
According to court documents, Beilby was responsible for bagging almost all of the heroin sold by Wilson Vasquez, also known as “Pancho,” and his associates for approximately one year until his arrest on July 15, 2015.
As part of a joint investigation led by the DEA New Haven Task Force, FBI, and New Haven Police Department, law enforcement seized approximately 500 grams of raw heroin, three handguns, and five vehicles during the probe.
Furthermore, bank accounts containing more than $300,000 have been frozen as a result of the investigation.
Seventeen individuals were charged as a result of this investigation, with all 17 pleading guilty. Vasquez awaits sentencing.
Beilby has been detained since his arrest and pleaded guilty on April 1, 2016, to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin. Beilby’s sentencing marks a major victory in the ongoing fight against heroin trafficking in New Haven.
The DEA New Haven Task Force includes participants from the New Haven, Hamden, West Haven, North Haven, East Haven, Branford, Ansonia, Meriden, and Derby Police Departments, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys H. Gordon Hall and Patrick Caruso. The conviction serves as a reminder of the harsh consequences for those involved in the heroin trade.
