0:00It's April 28th. Welcome in. This is Hartford News Today, where local news meets AI. A 42-year-old dude from Waterbury named Timey Keith just caught 18 months in federal prison for pushing fentanyl and trafficking guns. This went down Tuesday in New Haven Court, plus he got three years of supervised release on top. Investigators set up two control buys from him in August and September of 2024, grabbing distribution amounts of fentanyl, laced with nasty stuff, like zalazine and tramadol. On September 5th, he handed a loaded stolen Glock 0.40 caliber pistol to the same buyer who he knew was a convicted felon. Turns out the gun got jacked from a gas station car in Waterbury earlier that year. Keith pleaded guilty back in November to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and firearms trafficking, and he's been locked up since. People say this bust highlights the dangers of street drugs mixed with animal tranquilizers. Meanwhile, he faces more charges like extra fentanyl counts and unlawful gun possession
