Vermont Business Magazine The Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont stated that on May 3, 2021, United States District Judge Christina Reiss sentenced Jose Fontanez, 33, to 120 months in prison following his guilty plea to a charge of conspiring to distribute in Vermont one kilogram or more of heroin, 400 grams or more of fentanyl, and 500 grams or more of cocaine between 2010 and November 26, 2018.
According to Court records, in November of 2018, an informant working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Vermont State Police Drug Task Force placed 11 recorded phone calls to Fontanez, also known as “Chiqui,” arranging the purchase of heroin. The FBI Northern Connecticut Gang Task Force watched as Fontanez travelled from his stash house in Hartford, Connecticut to a planned meeting location in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where Fontanez was arrested by the FBI Western Massachusetts Gang Task Force.
