John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that JASON BROCKETT, 45, of Waterbury, was sentenced
today by U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny in Hartford to 14 months of
imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for trafficking
heroin and crack cocaine
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in the fall of 2017, the FBI, ATF and Waterbury Police Department began an
investigation into drug trafficking by suspected members of “Addicted to
Money,” also known as “ATM,” a violent street gang operating in Waterbury. The investigation, which included
court-authorized wiretaps, physical surveillance and controlled purchases of
heroin and crack cocaine, resulted in federal charges against 11 individuals.
Intercepted communications revealed that Brockett purchased
and sold distribution quantities of heroin and crack cocaine.
Brockett was arrested on July 17, 2018. On December 20, 2018, he pleaded guilty to
one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to
distribute, heroin and cocaine base (“crack”).
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and
the Waterbury Police Department’s Gang Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant
U.S. Attorneys Patrick F. Caruso and Natasha M. Freismuth.
