0:00It's April 28th, from your city to your ears. This is Hartford News Today, powered by AI. A 30-year-old guy from Waterbury, Connecticut in Paramus, New Jersey named Jordan Jamison just got hit with a 12-year federal prison. Sentence for running fentanyl and cocaine into the Waterbury area. That's 144 months behind bars, plus 5 years of supervised release and a $350,000 fine. He pleaded guilty back on January 29th to conspiracy charges involving over 400 grams of fentanyl and 500 grams of cocaine. Investigators from the DEA's New Haven Task Force built their case with wiretaps, controlled buys, and round-the-clock surveillance. Jamison and his partner stashed and packaged the drugs at spots in Nagatuck and Waterbury, then shipped them out to street dealers. Earlier this year, they even flew to California and tried mailing a big package back east. The package got intercepted in Monterey Park on February 5th, 2025, loaded with 1 kilogram

And 300 grams of xylazine, that's the animal tranquilizer folks mixed with fentanyl to make a deadlier. This bust hits hard in Waterbury, where these drugs have been fueling overdoses and tearing families apart. Jamison's no rookie, he did time back in April 2020 for a heroin ring in the same area, just two days in jail plus fines and forfeiture. Local communities are breathing a bit easier, knowing a key player is off the board. The feds wrapped this up with help from the FBI, LA agencies, and Jersey cops showing how these networks span coasts. Jamison's been locked up since mid-February, and this sentence sends a clear message to anyone pushing poison like this. Stay tuned, as we track more wins against the opioid crisis.
