WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) - A 24-year-old New Milford man has been sent to prison for 14 years in connection with the 2015 death of a suspected drug dealer after a prospective sale went wrong.
The Republican-American reports (https://bit.ly/2mS8j0f ) that Steven Vlash was sentenced Wednesday on a charge of first-degree manslaughter stemming from the death of 35-year-old Carl Brown Jr.
Police say Vlash and a co-defendant drove to a corner in Waterbury where Brown reportedly sold crack cocaine.

Witnesses testified that Brown said something about them taking “the crack” and was last seen holding onto the passenger-side window of Vlash’s truck as it drove away.
Brown struck his back on a road sign and was later found in the middle of the street suffering from a head injury. He died at a hospital.
