Federal officials have arrested four people who are suspected of flooding the Waterbury area with fentanyl and other drugs and the seizure they made is one of the largest they have ever seen in Connecticut.
The DEA, FBI, Connecticut State Police, and police from Waterbury, Naugatuck, Bristol and East Haven served several federal and state warrants on Thursday and said they seized 22 kilos of narcotics, 200,000 bags of fentanyl and $150,000, according to the United States Attorney.
Federal officials said 47-year-old Gawayne Fisher, of Waterbury, who is also known as “Fruit” and “Tank;” 51-year-old Terry Collins, of Bristol; 57-year-old David Hing, of Waterbury, who is also known as “LA;” and 53-year-old Derrick Pruden, who is also known as “DP,” have been charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and crack.
The investigation, which has been going on for about nine months, included wiretaps, physical surveillance, and controlled purchases of narcotics and the U.S. Attorney’s office said it revealed that Fisher received heroin and fentanyl from Collins and fentanyl/heroin and cocaine from other suppliers and distributed them to other alleged drug sellers, including Hing and Pruden.
