A 30-year-old Methuen man was sentenced to six years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine in New Hampshire.
Leuris Xavier Guerrero Valdez was sentenced by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Landya McCafferty to 72 months in prison and three years of supervised release. According to U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young.
“Methamphetamine, a dangerous and highly addictive drug, wreaks havoc on public health and safety,” said Young. “Individuals like the defendant who profit from poisoning our communities will be held accountable. Law enforcement will continue to focus on identifying and disrupting individuals distributing deadly drugs throughout New Hampshire.”
According to records and statements made in court, between June 2023 and March 2024, Guerrero Valdez sold methamphetamine to an undercover officer on 11 occasions in New Hampshire. After the final sale, investigators arrested him and searched a residence where he stored drugs. Investigators found large quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine and crack cocaine.
