John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that DENROY FABLE, also known as “Kik,” 35, of Hartford,
was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to 37
months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for
firearm and narcotics offenses.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in late December 2017, members of the FBI’s Connecticut Violent Crime Task
Force and the Hartford and Manchester Police Departments were searching for a
fugitive wanted in connection with a homicide in Manchester. Investigators developed information
connecting Fable to the fugitive being sought.
On January 2, 2018, investigators stopped Fable’s car in the
vicinity of Airport Road in Hartford. A
search of Fable’s jacket revealed a loaded Ruger 9mm handgun and quantities of
crack cocaine and marijuana. After Fable
was arrested, investigators searched Fable’s residence on Wethersfield Avenue
in Hartford and located the fugitive. A
search of the residence also revealed resale quantities of cocaine, crack and
fentanyl/heroin; other evidence of narcotics trafficking, and multiple rounds
of assorted ammunition.
Fable’s criminal history includes state convictions for
criminal possession of a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a permit.
It is a violation of federal law for a person previously
convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved
in interstate or foreign commerce.
Fable has been detained since his arrest on January 2,
2018. On November 5, he pleaded guilty
to one count of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon,
and one count of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, cocaine base
(“crack”).
This matter was investigated by the FBI’s Connecticut
Violent Crime Task Force and the Hartford and Manchester Police
Departments. The case was prosecuted by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Geoffrey M. Stone.
