Stratford Man Sentenced to 70 Months in Federal Prison for Distributing Heroin

U.S. Attorney’s Office August 26, 2010
  • District of Connecticut (203) 821-3700

David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, today announced that DONALD WILSON, 49, of Priscilla Lane, Stratford, was sentenced today by Chief United States District Judge Alvin W. Thompson in Hartford to 70 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for his participation in a Bridgeport-based narcotics trafficking ring. On April 1, 2010, WILSON pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin.

This matter stems from “Operation G-Force,” a joint law enforcement investigation into Bridgeport-area narcotics trafficking headed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Safe Streets Task Force. The year-long investigation, which led to the indictment of more than 40 individuals, included the use of court-authorized wiretaps, controlled purchases of cocaine, crack and heroin, and physical surveillance.

The investigation revealed that Malcolm White, also known as “Malc” and “X,” distributed heroin and crack cocaine out of the Marina Village housing complex in Bridgeport. Between September 2008 and February 2009, WILSON was intercepted on the wiretap on multiple occasions ordering quantities of heroin from White, which WILSON then sold to his own customers.

White has pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams of more of cocaine base (“crack cocaine”). He awaits sentencing.

This matter was investigated by members of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force, which is composed of federal agents and state and local officers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation, the Connecticut State Police Statewide Narcotics Task Force, and the Bridgeport, Stamford, Stratford, Fairfield, Trumbull, and Norwalk Police Departments. This matter is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dave Vatti and Hal Chen.
