BRIDGEPORT — A city man with a previous heroin conviction pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin, according to federal authorities.
Steven Hutchinson, 29, was sentenced to serve 60 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for heroin distribution in Bridgeport back on Nov. 20, 2014. He was released from prison May 22, 2018.
Federal authorities said shortly after he was released, Stamford police got a tip that he was selling heroin again in Fairfield County.
Then on June 21, 2018, a Stamford undercover officer arranged to purchase 300 bags of heroin from Hutchinson in exchange for $1,800, federal authorities said. Hutchinson was taken into custody after he showed up at a Stamford parking lot to complete the sale and had 300 bags of heroin in his possession, authorities said.
A lab test later confirmed that the contents of the bags were a mix of heroin and fentanyl.
Hutchinson is scheduled to appear in federal court Nov. 19 to be sentenced. At that time, he faces a maximum term of 20 years in prion. He also faces potential additional penalties for violating the conditions of his supervised release from his prior federal conviction.
