A 35-year-old Stamford man has been sentenced to 77 months in federal prison for his role in a cocaine and marijuana trafficking ring in Fairfield County.
Carl Hubbard, of Stamford, was sentenced to 77 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release for his involvement in the trafficking of cocaine and marijuana.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Hubbard was involved in the sale of cocaine and marijuana in Fairfield County. In May 2017, investigators made a controlled purchase of cocaine from Hubbard and his associate. A subsequent wiretap investigation confirmed that Hubbard was receiving marijuana from William Reyes of Stamford, and cocaine from other sources, and distributing the drugs to individuals in Fairfield County.
Hubbard and Reyes were arrested on July 26, 2017. On that date, investigators seized $2,933 in cash from Hubbard’s person and $9,450 in cash that Hubbard kept at a family member’s residence. Investigators also seized approximately 18 grams of cocaine and approximately 658 grams of marijuana.
A court-authorized search of Reyes’ Stamford residence revealed approximately 18 kilograms of marijuana, paraphernalia associated with narcotics distribution, and $71,004 in cash. A search of a residence in Lagrangeville, N.Y., that Reyes and another individual used to grow, process and distribute marijuana, revealed 140 marijuana plants and related equipment.
Hubbard has been detained since his arrest. On May 30, 2018, he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and a quantity of marijuana. Reyes pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana and was sentenced to 41 months in prison.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Stamford Police Department and New York State Police. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony E. Kaplan and Sarala V. Nagala.
