Hartford Man Indicted For Drug, Gun Crimes: Feds

HARTFORD, CT — A man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on drug and gun charges, according to a statement from prosecutors. Traevaughnn Morrison, 26, was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of, cocaine base (“crack”) and fentanyl, one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and one count of unlawful possession of ammunition by a felon.

According to prosecutors, members of the DEA’s Hartford Task Force made a controlled purchase of fentanyl and crack cocaine from Morrison in Bristol earlier this month.

After the drug sale, investigators followed Morrison as he drove his car and then parked in a condominium parking lot, where he was taken into custody. At the time of Morrison’s arrest, investigators found in his car additional quantities of fentanyl and crack cocaine, and a Polymer80 handgun (“ghost gun”) with an extended magazine loaded with ammunition, according to prosecutors.

Morrison’s criminal history includes convictions for felony drug offenses.

Morrison has been detained since his arrest. He faces up to 35 years in prison.
