BRIDGEPORT, CT — A Stamford man pleaded guilty today in federal court to a narcotics trafficking offense.
Brandon Turner, also known as “Bizz,” 31, of Stamford, pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.
David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced the guilty plea.
An investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Bridgeport High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force and the Stamford Police Department’s Narcotics and Organized Crime Unit identified Turner as a narcotics distributor.
In July 2024, investigators made a controlled purchase of fentanyl from Turner.
On April 21, employees of an apartment complex where Turner had been employed as a maintenance worker found a tool bag in a storage room that contained approximately 790 grams of fentanyl and one kilogram of cocaine.
The investigation, which included a review of surveillance camera footage and the use of DNA analysis, determined that Turner had placed the bag in the storage room.
A court-authorized search of Turner’s vehicle revealed additional quantities of fentanyl and cocaine.
The offense carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 10 years and a maximum term of imprisonment of life.
Turner, who is detained, is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 5.
