A Bridgeport man was sentenced to serve time in federal prison for distributing fentanyl.

Jaime Santiago, 44, will serve 60 months in prison and four years of supervised release.

He pleaded guilty on Jan. 22, 2026, to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, 40 grams or more of fentanyl.

Santiago was released on a $25,000 bond and is required to report to prison on Sept. 24.
