NOV 01 - NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Michael J. Ferguson Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, New England and Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that Shawn Miller, also known as “White Boy Shawn,” 32, of Hamden, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Alker Meyer in New Haven to 90 months of imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release, for distributing heroin and crack cocaine.
