New Haven, CT - The United States of America charged Fitzgerald Williams with illegal reentry after deportation.

Paul Fitzgerald Williams, 54, a citizen of Jamaica last residing in Hartford, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven to 46 months of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for illegally reentering the U.S. after being deported.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in June 1996, Williams, who has never held legal status in the U.S., was removed to Jamaica after sustaining multiple state convictions, including convictions for drug and firearm offenses. Williams illegally returned to the U.S. and, using an alias, was arrested in June 1999 in New Britain for narcotics trafficking offenses. He was subsequently convicted in state court of multiple narcotics sale offenses and sentenced to 10 years of incarceration. He was also convicted in federal court of one count of distribution of crack cocaine and one count of reentry of removed alien and, in December 2000, was sentenced to 100 months of imprisonment, to be served concurrently with his state sentence. Following his release from prison, Williams was removed to Jamaica in April 2008.

Williams has been detained since February 8, 2019, when he was arrested by Hartford Police after a traffic stop on a charge of interfering/resisting arrest. On December 19, 2019, he pleaded guilty to illegal reentry of a removed alien.

Williams has 12 serious prior convictions and has used approximately 16 aliases and 12 dates of birth in his prior offenses.

This matter was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Outcome: Defendant was sentenced to 46 months in prison.
