A Georgia man has pleaded guilty to a federal methamphetamine trafficking charge after investigators linked him to the shipment of dozens of parcels containing drugs from Georgia to Connecticut.
According to an announcement from David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, Tyrone Brown, 33, of Lithonia, Georgia, entered his plea before U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport.
Court documents and statements indicate that between January 2022 and March 2024, Brown sent packages containing methamphetamine pills from Georgia to addresses in New Haven associated with Gregory Grant and others. Investigators identified around 79 suspicious parcels shipped from Brown to Grant during this period. In January 2023, authorities searched one intercepted parcel under a court order and found more than four kilograms of multicolored methamphetamine pills along with a firearm inside 16 ziplock sandwich bags. The investigation also determined that Grant made several payments to Brown during the conspiracy.
Brown admitted guilt to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. This offense carries a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Sentencing is scheduled for December 2.
Brown has been held in custody since his arrest on April 7, 2025.
Gregory Grant, who is from New Haven, previously pleaded guilty on March 12, 2025, and remains detained while awaiting sentencing.
The case is being investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service along with the Narcotics and Bulk Cash Trafficking Task Force. The task force includes members from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the U.S. Postal Service – Office of the Inspector General, as well as police departments in Hartford, Plainville, and Meriden. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Nathaniel J. Gentile and Jocelyn Courtney Kaoutzanis are prosecuting the case.
