John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that JOVANNI REYES, 24, of Bridgeport, was sentenced
today by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer in New Haven to 24 months of
imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for distributing
heroin and fentanyl.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in late 2016, Bridgeport Police made three controlled purchases of heroin from
REYES. On December 8, 2016,
investigators conducted a court-authorized search of REYES’s Voight Avenue
residence and seized more than 120 folds of heroin and a loaded 9mm
handgun. The firearm had been reported
stolen.
Analysis of the seized drugs revealed that some of the folds
also contained fentanyl.
REYES has been detained since his federal arrest on January
25, 2017. On October 18, 2017, he
pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin.
This matter was investigated by the Bridgeport Police
Department, Connecticut State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorneys Rahul Kale and Vanessa Richards.
