NEWPORT — On Wednesday, a 22-year-old man from Orleans was in court for a change of plea and to face sentencing for bringing heroin into the county for distribution from Connecticut.

Dylan Cote pled guilty to a felony charge of conspiring to sell, deliver, manufacture or cultivate a regulated drug.

In April of 2017, Cote allegedly went to Hartford, Connecticut to purchase a stack of 100 bags of heroin.

Cote advised that he purchased the heroin with the intent to sell it in Orleans county.

On Wednesday, he was sentenced to 2 to 7 years to serve.

“The Orleans County State’s Attorney’s Office continues to aggressively prosecute heroin dealers bringing the drug in from out-of-state,” State’s Attorney Jennifer Barrett said. “The opiate epidemic is continuing to ruin the lives of the citizens of Orleans county. We will continue to do our part to address this crisis.”

  1. Dylan plead guilty to the knowledge of knowing what his friend the driver of the vehicle was doing in conneticut. He did not recieve a felony for trafficing or sales. His sentence was 2 to 8 not 2 to 7. Gets your facts correct before writing them.

  2. Gotta love people that run there mouths about something when they don’t have the facts straight or even know the person I here ur frustration frustration chaz keep ur head up sweetie hope all is well with you and the family love ya girly

  3. He should do more than that
    Totally had plans on helping sell that crap or he wouldn’t have been in the car.
    Fucking losers

  4. Nice work to all involved. From the arrest, prosecution and those that have to babysit him for the next several years. The “enabler” comments are why this epidemic will only get worse.
