John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that JUAN HAZARD, also known as “Money,” 42, of
Cranston, Rhode Island, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Alvin W.
Thompson in Hartford to 60 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of
supervised release, for trafficking fentanyl.
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in April 2017, Hazard agreed to meet an individual at a location in Ledyard to
conduct a narcotics transaction. On
April 26, 2017, investigators stopped Hazard’s vehicle in Ledyard. Hazard was arrested after investigators
located a wooden box containing three shrink-wrapped packages containing a
total of approximately 338 grams of fentanyl in the rear of the vehicle. Hazard’s young child was in the back seat of
the car at the time of the offense.
Hazard has been detained since his federal arrest on May 4,
2018. On September 17, 2018, he pleaded
guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of
fentanyl.
This investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Waterford, Ledyard, Town of Groton and City of Groton
Police Departments. The case was
prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Patricia Stolfi Collins.
