Waterbury Man Charged with Fentanyl Distribution and Gun Possession Offenses

David X. Sullivan, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and Jarod Forget, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration for New England, today announced that TREVON SEYMORE, 32, of Waterbury, has been charged by indictment with fentanyl distribution and firearm possession offenses.

As alleged in court documents and statements made in court, in March and April 2026, members of the DEA New Haven District Office (NHDO) Task Force made controlled purchases of fentanyl from Seymore and an associate. On July 22, 2026, investigators executed search warrants at multiple locations, including a residence on Wolcott Street in Bristol where Seymore was staying, and his vehicle. A search of Seymore's vehicle revealed approximately 2,090 wax paper folds containing fentanyl, and a loaded .40 caliber Glock 22 pistol with an obliterated serial number.

Seymore was arrested on a federal criminal complaint on July 22, 2026. On August 4, 2026, a grand jury in New Haven returned an indictment charging Seymore with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, an offense that carries a mandatory consecutive term of imprisonment of at least five years.

Seymore appeared today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert M. Spector in New Haven and pleaded not guilty to the charges in the indictment. He is released on a $150,000 bond pending trial.

U.S. Attorney Sullivan stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt. Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The NHDO Task Force includes members from the DEA, U.S. Marshals Service, Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation Division, Connecticut State Police, and the New Haven, Waterbury, East Haven, Branford, West Haven, Ansonia, Meriden, Naugatuck, and Shelton Police Departments. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher Lembo and Nathan Guevremont.
