John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of
Connecticut, announced that CYRUS BRADFORD, 43, of Waterbury, was sentenced
today by U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny in Hartford to 60 months of
imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for trafficking
heroin and crack cocaine
According to court documents and statements made in court,
in the fall of 2017, the FBI, ATF and Waterbury Police Department began an
investigation into drug trafficking by suspected members of “Addicted to
Money,” also known as “ATM,” a violent street gang operating in Waterbury. The investigation, which included
court-authorized wiretaps, physical surveillance and controlled purchases of
heroin and crack, revealed that Bradford supplied distribution quantities of
narcotics to members and associates of ATM.
The investigation resulted in federal charges against
Bradford and 10 other individuals.
Bradford has been detained since his arrest on July 17,
2018. On July 23, 2019, he pleaded
guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to
distribute, heroin and 28 grams or more of cocaine base (“crack”).
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and
the Waterbury Police Department’s Gang Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant
U.S. Attorneys Patrick F. Caruso and Natasha M. Freismuth.
