## Resource

Willie Redd, a Connecticut drug trafficker, just got 42 months behind bars plus 3 years supervised release for his role in a major Waterbury cocaine and fentanyl ring. Law enforcement, including the FBI’s Safe Streets Task Force, dismantled two separate crews—one led by Angel Quiros (63 months) and the other by Daniel Diaz-Rivera (210 months)—using wiretaps, GPS, and controlled buys. Redd, tied to Quiros’ crew, pleaded guilty in April and has been locked up since February after his bond was revoked. This crackdown sends a clear warning: federal authorities are zero-tolerance on large-scale drug operations. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
