NORTH CENTRAL, CT An indictment has been reached in a regional federal fentanyl case.
Leonard Boyle, acting United States Attorney for the district of Connecticut, and Brian Boyle, special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration for New England, announced that a federal grand jury in Hartford returned an indictment Tuesday charging Regino Morillo-Espinal, 38, of Allentown, PA, with possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.
According to court documents, members of the DEA s Hartford Task Force identified Morillo-Espinal as a trafficker of wholesale quantities of fentanyl. On March 26, investigators stopped Morillo-Espinal s vehicle on I-91 South after he had traveled from Allentown to multiple locations in Hartford.
