A Bridgeport man, age 25, received a five to eleven year state prison term after pleading guilty to narcotics violations and forgery counts. Judge Wright described the defendant’s record as shocking for a young man and cited a prior rape sentence. Officers observed a large heroin stash during a raid at 156 Fea Street, and the man admitted heavy drug use and selling narcotics to friends. The ruling also included related sentences for two other offenders in separate cases.
