Damian Bryant

Damian Bryant, 33, who had a prior drug-dealing conviction, faces 10 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $4 million when he is sentenced April 11 for possession with intent to distribute five grams or more of cocaine base.
Police said they made several controlled purchases of crack from Bryant and Danielle Hamilin at the Days Inn on Flanders Road between June and September 2007. On Sept. 14, they executed a search and seizure warrant on two hotel rooms.
Bryant jumped from the second-floor balcony but was quickly apprehended. Hamlin did not attempt to flee.
Bryant was carrying a clear plastic bag containing 13.7 grams of crack and police said they found nearly 200 grams of powder cocaine, an additional 34.3 grams of crack, 3.2 grams of marijuana, $2,794 in U.S. currency and other drug-dealing paraphernalia.
Bryant, who was living on Colman Street in New London at the time of his arrest, had been sentenced to 70 months in prison and three years of supervised release in 2000 in a crack cocaine distribution case in Rhode Island.
Hamilin is being prosecuted in New London Superior Court, where she is scheduled to appear on Wednesday.
