Drug Trafficking Charges Levied Against 3 from Windsor Locks

NEW HAVEN, CT — Three residents of Windsor Locks were indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury charging them with drug trafficking offenses stemming from the distribution of heroin and various prescription medications.

A five-count indictment charges Christine Miles, 58, Oscar Montoya, 62, and Christy Miles, 33, all of Windsor Locks, with conspiring to possess and distribute heroin, oxymorphone, hydrocodone and alprazolam, according to John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.

On Aug. 4, 2016, members of the North Central Narcotics Task Force and the DEA conducted a court-authorized search of the defendants’ residence at 350 North Street in Windsor Locks and seized a large quantity of various prescription medications, approximately two pounds of marijuana, $10,093 in cash and more than $13,000 in gift cards, Durham said.

The indictment charges each of the defendants with one count of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute controlled substance, and with one or more counts of possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of, certain controlled substances, Durham said.

Each of the charges carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, Durham said.

The indictment also seeks the forfeiture of the 350 North Street residence, the cash and gift cards seized during the August 2016 search, and more than $700,000 contained in numerous bank accounts. The seized cash, gift cards and bank accounts have been the subject of a pending civil forfeiture action, according to Durham.
