Hartford Man Facing 40 Years In Middletown Narcotics Case

MIDDLETOWN, CTR — A Hartford man is facing up to four decades in prison after a guilty plea in a Middletown drug case, federal authorities said.

David X. Sullivan, United States attorney for the District of Connecticut, said that 32-year-old Jordan Dlythe, also known as "T" entered a guilty plea Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in New Haven to a fentanyl and cocaine trafficking offense.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on March 31, 2021, Flythe was sentenced in Hartford federal court to 36 months of imprisonment for distributing fentanyl and crack cocaine. He was released from federal prison in September 2022.

In August 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration's Hartford Task Force and the Middletown Police Department determined that Flythe was distributing fentanyl and other narcotics in Middletown, Sullivan said. Between August and November 2024, investigators made multiple controlled purchases of fentanyl from Flythe, according to case records.

On Dec. 18, a court-authorized search of Flythe’s residence on Adelaide Street in Hartford revealed approximately 240 grams of fentanyl mixed with xylazine and other additives, and approximately 160 grams of cocaine, according to case records.

Flythe pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and a quantity of cocaine, an offense that carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years and a maximum term of imprisonment of 40 years. A sentencing date is not scheduled.

Flythe has been detained since his arrest on March 6, 2025.
