According to court documents, Ortiz sold heroin to both FBI and Hartford police officers on 10 separate occasions in 2014.
He was arrested in October 2014. A search of his apartment discovered quantities of heroin and fentanyl, as well as a digital scale and grinder.
While he was out on bail as part of a drug rehabilitation program, he fled the state. Law enforcement officers caught up with him in Puerto Rico in June 2016.

Ortiz later pleaded guilty to maintaining a drug-involved premises and one count of escape.
FBI's Northern Connecticut Violent Crime Gang Task Force and Hartford Police were both involved in the investigation.
