U.S. Attorney John H. Durham said the arrests come on the heels of a months-long investigation by the DEA New Haven Task Force and the Waterbury and Naugatuck police departments related to the distribution of heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine in and around Waterbury.
The investigation, which began last year and has included the use of court-authorized wiretaps, physical surveillance and controlled purchases of narcotics, revealed that Keith Jordan, also known as “Knowledge,” received large quantities of heroin and cocaine from various suppliers and sold the drugs to street-level distributors in and around Waterbury.
During the arrests, officers seized 3,000 bags of heroin, 400 grams of cocaine, 350 grams of fentanyl/heroin mixed, 400 grams of heroin, 10 grams of crack, 20 pounds of marijuana, fentanyl patches, a one-kilogram press, four handguns, approximately $120,000 in cash and four vehicles.
