Windsor Locks Woman Sentenced In Drug Dealing Case

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT - A local woman was sentenced to 30 months in prison Wednesday for distributing heroin and prescription medications, according to a statement from US District Attorney for the District of Connecticut John Durham. Christy Miles, 34, pleaded guilty in May to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, heroin, oxymorphone, hydrocodone and alprazolam.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in 2016, members of the North Central Narcotics Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration began investigating Christy Miles’ mother, Christine Miles, for distributing prescription narcotics and other controlled substances. Miles is a retired nurse, according to Durham's statement.

In 2016, investigators conducted a controlled purchase of five bags of heroin and six Vicodin tablets from Christy Miles at Christine Miles’ home at 350 North St. Investigators also made two controlled purchases of prescription drugs from Christine Miles at her residence.

In a court-authorized search of the home, investigators 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.

Christine Miles and her husband, Oscar Montoya, were arrested on state charges after the search, according to Durham's statement.

Christine Miles was sentenced earlier this month to five years in prison for her role in the scheme. Montoya was sentenced to three years in prison in September. The couple also forfeited the Windsor Locks home along with more than $767,000 seized from the residence and several bank accounts.
