Reviewed sting-related legal outcome. The conviction is reported, not court-verified: the actual Connecticut judgment was not obtained. TheTVDB claims thirty months in jail and ten years suspended, but the wording does not clarify total versus suspended term and has no judgment citation; do not adopt a sentence. A separately listed April 2025 conviction and online probation-violation claims are outside the original sting sentence. Do not infer present custody from this registry transcription. Additional2016possession allegation arose from phones seized in the original investigation; registry transcription records its November14,2016conviction. The2025entry is not substituted for this allegation, and precise docket grouping remains unresolved.
