After Flythe was released on bond in his state case, investigators made several more controlled purchases from Flythe of crack and fentanyl.

Police also searched an apartment Flythe used to store, process and package drugs and seized more than 30 grams of fentanyl, 18 grams of crack, 9 ounces of marijuana and $5,582 in cash. A search of Flythe’s New Britain home also revealed about 52 grams of heroin and $3,357 in cash.
