Vanessa Roberts Avery, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that VICTOR RAMOS, 41, of Waterbury, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Michael P. Shea in Hartford to 12 months and one day of imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for escaping from a halfway house in Bloomfield.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on January 27, 2014, Ramos was sentenced in Hartford federal court to 102 months of imprisonment for robbing banks in Waterbury and New Britain. In March 2021, Ramos was transferred to the Drapelick Center, a Residential Reentry Center (“halfway house”), in Bloomfield to complete his prison term. On June 5, 2021, with approximately one month left on his prison term, Ramos left the facility without permission and did not return. He remained at large for 13 months before being arrested by the Waterbury Police Department in July 2022 on unrelated misdemeanor state charges.
Ramos has been detained since his arrest. On October 14, 2022, he pleaded guilty to escape from the custody of the Attorney General.
This matter was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Konstantin Lantsman.
