Jahking Allah, Fentanyl and Crack Cocaine Trafficking, Vermont 2025

A 45-year-old Quaker Hill, Connecticut man was sentenced to 37 months in prison for his role in a fentanyl and crack cocaine trafficking operation in Burlington, Vermont.

Jahking Allah, also known as "Stop Sign," was sentenced on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 by Chief United States District Judge Christina Reiss to 37 months' imprisonment to be followed by a three-year term of supervised release.

According to court records, Allah sold cocaine base to a cooperating subject in Burlington on two dates in January 2024.

On January 19, law enforcement executed a search warrant at 195 St. Paul Street, Apt. A, where Allah was staying.

Within the apartment, law enforcement found seven handguns, three of which had previously been reported stolen.

This seizure was among the largest number of pistols that the Burlington Police Department has recovered during a single search warrant execution.

Also within the apartment were numerous quantities of cocaine base and fentanyl, and multiple digital scales.

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael P. Drescher commended the investigatory efforts of the Burlington Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nicole Cate.

Allah was represented by Assistant Federal Public Defenders Emily Kenyon and Steve Barth.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
