BOSTON — A Webster man has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison for his role in a drug trafficking organization that distributed cocaine shipped from Puerto Rico, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.
Angel Delgado, 47, was sentenced on May 29, 2025, by U.S. District Court Judge Mark G. Mastroianni. His seven year sentence includes four years of supervised release. Delgado pleaded guilty in January 2025 to possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. He was initially charged by criminal complaint in April 2024.
According to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, investigators began tracking suspicious shipments in the spring of 2023. Multiple packages containing kilogram-level quantities of suspected narcotics were mailed from Puerto Rico to Worcester County. During the investigation, Delgado was seen retrieving packages – believed to contain cocaine or other narcotics – from addresses not linked to him and delivering them to another individual involved in the operation.
During the investigation, authorities seized a package addressed to Delgado that contained two kilograms of cocaine. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts reported that on April 30, 2024, authorities stopped Delgado’s car after he was seen transporting a person who had picked up a suspected package believed to contain cocaine. After the vehicle was pulled over, the package was opened and found to contain two kilograms of cocaine wrapped inside the box.
The investigation was led by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England Division and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service’s Boston Division, with support from the Southbridge Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Kaitlin J. Brown of the Worcester Branch Office prosecuted the case.
