Former Hartford Resident Sentenced For Cocaine Trafficking: Feds

HARTFORD, CT — A former Hartford resident will spend over seven years in prison for his part in an interstate cocaine trafficking scheme, the Connecticut district attorney's office announced today.

Marvin Lloyd, 51, last residing in Hartford, was sentenced to 87 months (7.25 years) in prison.

He has been detained since his arrest on May 21, 2019, and on Aug. 18, 2021 he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine and related offenses, the district attorney's office said.

A citizen of Jamaica, Lloyd will face "immigration proceedings" when he completes his prison term, the office said.

An investigation found Lloyd coordinated the shipment of packages with kilogram-quantities of cocaine and with large quantities of marijuana from California to addresses in Hartford, the district attorney's office said.

When the drug parcels arrived, U.S. Postal Service letter carrier Jesus Rodriguez delivered them to Lloyd, the district attorney's office said.

Lloyd also gave Rodriguez cocaine that he distributed to his own drug customers, the office said.

Rodriguez has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
