In Vermont Monday, United States District Judge William K. Sessions III sentenced Jorge Torres, 23, of Hartford, Connecticut to 27 months of imprisonment.
Torres previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
Following his sentence, Torres will serve three years of supervised release.
On December 21, 2021, Torres was arrested in the town of Orleans in the Northeast Kingdom while he was traveling northbound on Interstate 91 in possession of about 1500 bags of fentanyl, several grams of crack cocaine, and a loaded 9mm handgun.
Fentanyl sellers should be sentenced to the same as a person intending to kill someone. That is what the end result is.
