A Hartford man pleaded guilty Monday to distributing crack cocaine last summer during a wave of violence that prompted a state and federal crackdown in the capital city’s North End.
Kendall Fair, 20, pleaded guilty in a U.S. District Court video conference before Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer and Fair will be sentenced in July.
Fair was the dozen men arrested and charged in September when Hartford detectives and the FBI's Northern Connecticut Gang Task Force cracked down on drug dealing and gang violence after a spate of murders made last July one of the deadliest months in Hartford in the past five years.
