A former Stratford resident received a six-year federal prison sentence for traveling back and forth from Georgia to conduct drug transactions that involved fentanyl laced with xylazine and cocaine.

Terron Amado, also known as “Littles,” 41, was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Vernon D. Oliver in Hartford to 72 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut. Amado pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl on Sept. 25, 2025.

An investigation revealed that Amado, who moved to Georgia in 2017, regularly traveled from Georgia to Connecticut to reportedly conduct drug transactions using rental cars and Airbnb residences, court records show. In July 2023, law enforcement reportedly made a controlled purchase of approximately 20 grams of fentanyl from Amado in Stratford, according to court records.

Amado was arrested on July 28, 2023. Officials said he was reportedly found to be in possession of 220 grams of fentanyl mixed with xylazine, 370 grams of powder cocaine, 30 grams of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia at the time of his arrest.

According to officials, Amado has a criminal history that includes felony convictions for robbery, firearm and narcotics offenses in Connecticut.

The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Bridgeport High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force, including personnel from the DEA Bridgeport Resident Office, the Connecticut State Police and the Bridgeport, Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford, Stratford, and Milford Police Departments., the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
