STRATFORD, CT — A former Stratford resident has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for distributing drugs, according to officials.

Terron Amado, also known as “Littles,” 41, was sentenced Tuesday in Hartford federal court to 72 months in prison and five years of supervised release for distributing fentanyl laced with xylazine, and cocaine, U.S. Attorney for Connecticut David X. Sullivan announced.

According to court documents and statements made in court, Amado’s criminal history includes felony convictions in Connecticut for robbery, firearm, and narcotics offenses.

“An investigation revealed that Amado, who had moved to Georgia in 2017, regularly traveled from Georgia to Connecticut for drug transactions, using rental cars and staying at Airbnb residences,” officials wrote in a news release. “In July 2023, law enforcement made a controlled purchase of approximately 20 grams of fentanyl from Amado in Stratford.”

Amado was arrested on July 28, 2023.

At the time of his arrest, officials said he possessed approximately 220 grams of fentanyl mixed with xylazine, 370 grams of powder cocaine, 30 grams of crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.

Amado pleaded guilty on Sept. 25 to possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl.
