John H. Durham, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that DAQUAN PATTERSON-GREENE, 22, of Hartford, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Alvin W. Thompson in Hartford to 96 months of imprisonment, followed by four years of supervised release, for drug and firearm offenses.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on September 7, 2017, Patterson-Greene led Hartford Police officers on a foot chase in Hartford’s North End. During the chase, Patterson-Greene discarded a loaded Glock 22 .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, a firearm magazine containing 15 rounds of .40 caliber ammunition, and an orange backpack.

Officers apprehended Patterson-Greene on Vineland Terrace and recovered the discarded pistol, ammunition and backpack. A search of Patterson-Greene’s person revealed $252 in cash and small amount of marijuana. A search of the backpack revealed approximately 13 ounces of marijuana, 13 zip lock bags containing marijuana, a knotted plastic bag containing several pieces of a substance that field-tested positive for the presence of MDMA (ecstasy), a digital scale, and a box of sandwich bags.
Subsequent analysis of the suspected MDMA identified it as N-Ethylpentylone, which is a controlled analogue of MDMA.
Patterson-Greene’s criminal history includes felony convictions for first-degree assault and possession of a pistol without a permit. In addition, he was on state probation at the time of his arrest.
Patterson-Greene has been detained since his arrest on September 7, 2017. On September 11, 2018, he pleaded guilty to one count of possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
Judge Thompson ordered Patterson-Greene to perform 100 hours of community service during his term of supervised release.
This matter was investigated by the Hartford Police Department and the FBI’s Northern Connecticut Violent Crimes Gang Task Force. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Gustafson and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney John F. Fahey of the Hartford State’s Attorney’s Office.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make neighborhoods safer for everyone.
