A Holyoke man will spend more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges. The sentence was recently handed down to 21-year-old Javon Calderon for his role in a drug trafficking scheme in Vermont.
Justice Department officials said Calderon was captured on video threatening someone with a firearm over a drug debt.
According to court records, "Calderon and co-defendant Christopher Morgan spent substantial time in Bennington, Vermont, in 2022 distributing fentanyl and cocaine. During a portion of that time, Calderon and Morgan were hosted by co-defendants and Bennington residents Shavonne Doucette and Kyle Winnie. Calderon and Morgan employed locals to sell drugs for them. Doucette and Winnie also occasionally sold drugs for Calderon and Morgan."
Three others involved in the scheme have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.
