Alleged Bridgeport Ecstacy Dealer Enters Plea In Federal Case: U.S. Attorney

BRIDGEPORT, CT — Collin Fletcher, 52, of Bridgeport, pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to one count of conspiracy to distribute, and to possess with intent to distribute, MDA and MDMA, also known as ecstacy, United States Attorney Deirdre M. Daly announced.

According to court documents and statements, "Fletcher conspired with others to sell ecstasy to customers in Connecticut, New York and elsewhere," and in October and November of last year, undercover investigators made two controlled purchases of ecstasy from him. MDA (Methylenedioxyamphetamine) is an analogue of MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine).

Fletcher was arrested in November after he attempted to sell approximately 10,000 capsules of ecstasy to an undercover officer. The capsules had a combined weight of approximately 923 grams of MDA.

He is scheduled to be sentenced in May, at which time he faces a maximum term of 20 years in prison. Fletcher is a citizen of Jamaica and has been detained since his arrest.

This matter is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Haven Tactical Diversion Squad, which includes officers from the Bristol, Greenwich, Hamden, Milford, New Haven, Shelton, Vernon and Wilton Police Departments. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Avi Perry.
