In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking, two men have been charged with trafficking fentanyl and cocaine into Waterbury, Connecticut. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut, alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), announced the indictment of 39-year-old Terrance Johnson of Hackensack, New Jersey, and 29-year-old Jordan Jamison of Waterbury, Connecticut, and Paramus, New Jersey.
The indictment follows an extensive investigation led by the DEA New Haven District Office Task Force, which included wiretaps, surveillance, and controlled narcotics purchases. Authorities discovered that Johnson and Jamison were using multiple locations in Connecticut, including apartments in Naugatuck and Waterbury, to store, package, and distribute large quantities of fentanyl and cocaine.
On February 5, 2025, the pair traveled to California, where they attempted to mail a package containing approximately one kilogram of fentanyl and three kilograms of cocaine back to Connecticut. The package was intercepted by authorities. A subsequent search of their stash house in Naugatuck on February 11 uncovered an additional 5.4 kilograms of fentanyl, 1.4 kilograms of cocaine, and over 300 grams of xylazine, an animal tranquilizer often mixed with fentanyl.
Both men were arrested in mid-February, with Johnson apprehended in California and Jamison in New Jersey. They face serious charges, including conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and cocaine, with a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
The investigation, which is part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) Program, continues, with both men presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. This case underscores the ongoing efforts to disrupt drug trafficking networks and ensure public safety.
