Armed Hartford Drug Dealer Sentenced to 5 Years in Federal Prison
A federal judge has sentenced Micahel Davis, 34, of Hartford, to 60 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Davis was arrested on February 10, 2021, after law enforcement officers observed him conducting drug sales on Main Street in Hartford’s North End, and a search of his person revealed a loaded Remington Arms, model RP9, 9mm handgun, and five glass vials containing MDMA (“ecstasy”).
A related search of Davis’s vehicle revealed several vials of crack cocaine and MDMA.
Davis, who was released on bond in his state case, was again arrested on April 7, 2021, after he was observed selling drugs in the same area of Main Street, and then tossed a plastic bag containing 48 wax sleeves of heroin from his car window as he was pursued by law enforcement.
Davis’s criminal history includes state convictions for firearm and narcotics offenses.
This matter was investigated by the FBI’s Connecticut Violent Crime Task Force, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Hartford Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Konstantin Lantsman with the assistance of Law Student Intern Nicholas Barile.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the centerpiece of the violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime.
