Another "Operation Bloodline" Sentencing with Help from North Haven Police

With assistance from the North Haven Police Department, a New Haven man was sentenced to 30 months for distributing heroin.


The following is a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.


David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that Javon Floyd, also known as “Twin,” 23, of New Haven, was sentenced on April 22 by Senior United States District Judge Ellen Bree Burns in New Haven to 30 months of imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release, for distributing heroin. 

Floyd is one of 108 individuals charged as a result of “Operation Bloodline,” a joint law enforcement investigation targeting narcotics trafficking and gang violence in the Dwight-Kensington and Fair Haven sections of New Haven. Led by the DEA New Haven Task Force and the New Haven and Hamden Police Departments, the year-long investigation included the use of court-authorized wiretaps on numerous telephones, extensive physical surveillance, controlled purchases of narcotics, execution of search warrants and seizures of narcotics and firearms. The investigation revealed that Floyd conspired with others to purchase and redistribute heroin.         

This matter is being investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Haven Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the New Haven, Hamden, West Haven, North Haven, Branford, Ansonia and Meriden Police Departments. The United States Marshals Service, the Connecticut State Police, the Connecticut Department of Correction, Parole and Community Services and the Milford, Hartford, New Britain, North Branford and Stratford Police Departments provided valuable assistance to the investigation.         

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys S. Dave Vatti and Marc Silverman.
