A Georgia man has been sentenced to a decade in federal prison for trafficking methamphetamine pills to Connecticut. Tyrone Brown, 33, of Lithonia, Georgia, received a sentence of 120 months in prison and five years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport.
Court documents and statements indicate that between January 2022 and March 2024, Brown sent parcels containing methamphetamine pills from Georgia to New Haven addresses linked to Gregory Grant and others. Investigators tracked about 79 suspicious packages shipped by Brown to Grant during this period. In January 2023, law enforcement conducted a court-authorized search of one intercepted package and discovered more than four kilograms of multicolored methamphetamine pills packed in 16 ziplock bags as well as a firearm.
The investigation found that Grant made several payments to Brown over the course of the conspiracy. Brown was arrested on April 7, 2025; at the time, authorities searched his home and found additional pills along with a handgun.
Brown has been detained since his arrest. On September 2, 2025, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine.
Gregory Grant, who is from New Haven, pleaded guilty on March 12, 2025. He remains in custody while awaiting sentencing.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service together with the Narcotics and Bulk Cash Trafficking Task Force—which includes personnel from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General, and police departments from Hartford, Plainville, and Meriden—and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nathaniel J. Gentile and Jocelyn Courtney Kaoutzanis.
