Connecticut Man Sentenced 13 Years for Drug Ring

A Connecticut man, Jakiy Keith, just received a 13-year federal sentence for leading a drug ring that flooded northern Vermont with cocaine and fentanyl — a role the judge called “ringleader.” His crimes also include gun charges, and he’s separately facing a state murder charge for killing Kayla Wright in February, allegedly because she threatened to expose his illegal operations. The judge described his actions as bringing “terror” to the community, while his defense emphasized trauma and a desire to reform. With multiple co-conspirators already charged and his murder sentencing looming, Keith’s legal troubles are far from over — and could soon add even more years to his sentence.
