Guilford Man Charged With Failing to Report to Prison

John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that a grand jury in New Haven returned an indictment today charging Brian Page, 43, of Guilford, with one count of failure to surrender for service of his federal sentence.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on October 17, 2017, U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson sentenced Page in Hartford to 97 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for his role in a scheme to distribute oxycodone that was obtained through fraudulent prescriptions.  Judge Thompson ordered Page, who was released on a $200,000 bond, to surrender for service of his sentence on November 17.  Page was designated by the Bureau of Prisons to the Federal Correctional Institute at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

The indictment alleges that Page did not self-surrender to FCI Fort Dix on November 17, 2017.

The U.S. Marshals Service located and arrested Page at a hotel in Branford on December 7.

The charge of failure to surrender for service of a federal sentence carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years, which must be imposed consecutively to the underlying sentence.

U.S. Attorney Durham stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt.  Charges are only allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert M. Spector.
