A massive cocaine and fentanyl haul in New Haven, Connecticut, led to the downfall of 37-year-old Levern Marion, who was sentenced to 6 years in federal prison for distributing the deadly substances.
According to court documents and statements made in court, an investigation that included surveillance, trash pulls, traffic stops, and a controlled purchase of narcotics revealed that Marion was distributing controlled substances in and around New Haven.
Marion was arrested on March 27, 2024, after a court-authorized search of a residence on Washington Avenue in New Haven that Marion used to store drugs revealed approximately 800 grams of cocaine, approximately 175 grams of crack cocaine, and numerous wax folds containing fentanyl.
On October 22, 2025, Marion pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and a quantity of fentanyl.
Marion, who was released on a $100,000 bond, will report to prison on June 3.
