A drug distributor for a Boston-area drug trafficking organization was sentenced on Friday for his role in a conspiracy involving cocaine and cocaine base (crack cocaine). 34-year-old Terrence Daye, of Boston, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper to 28 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
In September 2022, Daye pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine. Daye was charged with 23 others in June 2020 as part of Operation Snowfall, which ultimately resulted in the charging of two different drug trafficking conspiracies during the overall period of November 2018 through June 2020.
According to the charging documents, beginning in November 2018, law enforcement investigated a drug organization in which Daye was a drug distributor. The group was comprised of Boston-based street gang members and associates in the Commonwealth Development in Brighton, formerly known as Fidelis Way, a multi-apartment public housing development.
It is alleged that the organization assumed control over multiple apartments, which they used to store, cook, package and sell drugs – most of which consisted of cocaine or cocaine base, which the group supplied to customers, wholesalers and distributors. As a result, it caused a blight of the development and reduced the quality of life of the other residents.
Daye is estimated to have distributed between approximately 100 and 200 grams of cocaine base during the conspiracy, and overall, between 300 and 400 grams of cocaine (including powder and base) during the course of his participation in the Fidelis Way organization.
He is the sixth defendant to be sentenced in the Fidelis Way drug conspiracy. The remaining defendants in the Fidelis Way conspiracy have all pleaded guilty and are pending sentencing. In the other charged conspiracy, the defendants are either pending sentencing or have pleaded not guilty and are pending trial. One defendant, Derek Hart, remains at large.
