Bridgeport Man Sentenced In Federal Gun Case

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A city man has been sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison for firearm offenses, according to a statement from federal prosecutors. Terrance Clark, aka "T-Time," 24, will also serve two years of supervised release.

In April officers with the Bridgeport Police Department’s Tactical Narcotics Team arrested Clark after they found him in possession of crack cocaine, which was packaged for street level distribution, as well as a Glock 22 .40 caliber firearm loaded with a high capacity magazine.

Clark’s criminal history includes felony convictions in state court for possession of a firearm without a permit, stealing a firearm, and possession of narcotics, according to the statement.

Clark has been detained since his arrest on April 29, 2019. On June 11, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

This matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Bridgeport Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Courtney Kaoutzanis.
