A man, said to be part of a Methuen-based drug trafficking group dealing in fentanyl and methamphetamine in New Hampshire’s Seacoast area, was sentenced Wednesday to 28 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release.
Forty-four-year-old Eddy Mendez Carmona was sentenced by U.S. Chief District Court Judge Samantha Elliott.
“Fentanyl and methamphetamine are a scourge on our communities,” said New Hampshire U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan. “We will continue to pursue and hold accountable those individuals participating in drug trafficking organizations that affect the Granite State.”
Mendez Carmona previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute and distributing controlled substances.
A citizen of the Dominican Republic, Mendez Carmona will be deported upon the completion of his prison sentence. Charges are still pending against two others, Jose Luis Guerrero Nunez and Juan Carlos De Los Santos Romero. Two more, Carlos Alejandro Chevalier Santos and Luis Guerrero Cabral, previously pleaded guilty and were sentenced by the court.
