Three guns and drugs found in Hartford, Connecticut home

Federal authorities have charged a man in Connecticut with drug and firearm offenses. The case involves Ramon Luis Guzman, 54, who is accused of having drugs and guns in his home. A grand jury in Hartford has indicted Guzman on several counts, including possession of over 40 grams of fentanyl and other drugs like PCP and cocaine. He also faces charges for possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon. Guzman pleaded not guilty during his court appearance but was ordered to remain in detention. In September 2024, police searched Guzman's home on Haddam Street in Hartford. They found various drugs and three handguns, including one with a laser sight. Guzman has a history of felony convictions in Connecticut, making it illegal for him to own firearms. The investigation was part of a larger initiative called Operation Take Back America. This program aims to combat illegal immigration and eliminate drug cartels. The FBI and Hartford Police worked together on the case. However, authorities did not explain how Guzman's case fits into this nationwide effort.
