A Connecticut mother who authorities say enlisted her two teenage daughters to package and deliver bags of crack cocaine has been sentenced to three years in federal prison.

Neysa Vazquez-Ferrer, 35, is accused of working for a drug trafficking organization in Waterbury, where she packaged individual-dose bags of crack cocaine, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut David X. Sullivan said Friday in a news release.

Vazquez-Ferrer was one of more than a dozen individuals charged with federal offenses as a result of a multi-agency investigation into two drug trafficking rings in the city.

The investigation, led by the FBI’s Waterbury Safe Streets Gang Task Force, found that the two groups “shared sources of supply and worked together to further their operations,” described as the distribution of cocaine, crack and fentanyl through a network of sellers.

According to investigators, one group operated in the area of William Street, while the other offered services out of Maple Avenue.

Vazquez-Ferrer managed a “stash location” for the Maple Ave. organization, according to prosecutors. She was arrested in November 2023 and later released on bond.

Earlier this year, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Michael P. Shea sentenced Vazquez-Ferrer to 36 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

She’ll be required to report to prison on July 11, officials said.
