News | Southern Vermont Heroin dealer sentenced in Springfield By Eric Francis Rutland Herald Correspondent | December 14,2012 SPRINGFIELD — A Springfield drug dealer who had a bit part in the aftermath of a violent fight over drugs that took place inside a Valley Street apartment in late September has now been sentenced. Corrinna Carr, 37, will serve from two to three and a half years in jail for selling heroin last year to informants who were cooperating with the Vermont Drug Task Force in Springfield and for more recently breaking her court-ordered pre-trial 24-hour home curfew. Police said that on the night of Sept. 14 they found her out searching for a duffle bag of heroin that had been stashed in a wooded area off Valley Street. Carr has a history of drug distribution offenses in Connecticut and was also arrested in Massachusetts shortly after Vermont authorities arranged for the undercover purchases of 10 heroin baggies each on two consecutive days in April 2011. She has since spent a year in jail in Massachusetts while her two felony heroin sales cases were pending in Vermont. Carr is one of four people charged in connection with the Sept. 14 melee on Valley Street, which witnesses said ultimately involved knives, a ball bat and a BB gun — after two men fleeing the fight allegedly ran up a wooded hillside behind an apartment building and concealed a blue bag containing heroin that officers quickly discovered with the help of a police dog. At the time, Carr was supposed to be maintaining a 24-hour curfew at her mother’s residence; however, police said that in the midst of their investigation they came across Carr’s vehicle parked near where police had earlier discovered the blue bag. Inside the car was a note “describing the exact location where officers had earlier found the suspected narcotics in the woods.” Springfield Police Officer Larry Muldoon said that when Carr was located later in the evening she confessed to receiving a call from someone she said she only knew by his nickname “Boxer” who’d given her instructions on where to find the bag and then offered her $50 to go and get it. Muldoon said that Carr told him once she arrived several people at a nearby campfire told her police had already been by and removed what she was looking for.
