Man Arrested In Branford After Failing to Show Up To Prison: Feds

BRANFORD, CT — Brian Page, 43, of Guilford, was indicted this week by a New Haven grand jury with one count of failure to surrender for service of his federal sentence, federal authorities said.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on October 17, 2017, U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson sentenced Page in Hartford to 97 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for his role in a scheme to distribute oxycodone that was obtained through fraudulent prescriptions.

Thompson ordered Page, who was released on a $200,000 bond, to surrender for service of his sentence on November 17, federal officials said. Page was designated by the Bureau of Prisons to the Federal Correctional Institute at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

The indictment alleges that Page did not self-surrender to FCI Fort Dix on November 17, 2017, officials said. The U.S. Marshals Service located and arrested Page at a hotel in Branford on December 7.

The charge of failure to surrender for service of a federal sentence carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years, which must be imposed consecutively to the underlying sentence.
