Robert Grant Hall, aka "Chevy," 41, will also serve five years of supervised release.
According to prosecutors, law enforcement began an investigation into a southeastern Connecticut drug trafficking organization in 2018. Investigators found that Hall and others were distributing heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine to drug users and other street-level dealers.
A grand jury returned an indictment in 2019 charging Hall and 12 others with drug trafficking offenses. Hall pleaded guilty July 29 to one count of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine and 28 grams or more of cocaine base (“crack”).
