Crack Dealer Gets 2 Years

A New Haven man caught on a federal wiretap was sentenced to two years in prison Friday for distributing crack cocaine.
Raymond Rice, 41, pleaded guilty in April to one count of conspiracy to possess, with the intent to distribute, crack, according to a U.S. Attorney’s office press release. Senior U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns also sentenced Rice to three years’ probation after his release.
According to U.S. Attorney spokesman Thomas Carson, Rice is one of 47 people charged as part of a widespread, cooperative investigation into a major crack- and cocaine-dealing operation in the Newhallville neighborhoods of Hamden and New Haven.
Carson’s release said court documents and testimony detailed how a wiretap was used to catch Rice ordering “distribution quantities” of crack from other members of the drug ring.
The investigation was a collaborative effort involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Hamden and New Haven police departments.
Meanwhile, on Friday afternoon police reported that a man leaving an event at Casa Otonal in the Hill was shot in the back while loading items into a car. Click here to read the Register’s report on it.
In other news, according to Officer David Hartman, the New Haven police spokesman:
The tactical narcotics unit served three arrest warrants Thursday night, nabbing two men at 179 Chapel St. and another at 33 Carmen St. All were wanted on “drug sale related crimes,” Hartman said.
Also Thursday night, a man was robbed at Dixwell Avenue and West Ivy Street. He told police that three men in their early 20s confronted him around 7 p.m. One pushed him from his bike. The men stole the victim’s grey bicycle; Hartman described it as a “Baja MT” mountain bike.
Hartman also announced that the NHPD will have a DUI checkpoint stationed at State and Wall Streets Friday from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
