While this case was pending, Paradis-Feliz was arrested after having a large amount of drugs delivered through the U.S. Postal Service to his home in Norfolk County.

Due to the previous arrest, the U.S. Attorney's Office adopted the Norfolk case and resolved it for a sentence of six years and nine months in federal prison.
