A 54-year-old woman, associated with a drug dealing “stash” house in Methuen, pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.
Donaida Gonzalez, also known as “Yijana Rodriguez,” has been held since being arrested during October of 2024. She was one of 10 people indicted at the time by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, namely, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and crack cocaine.
U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan said Gonzalez helped run the “stash” house in Methuen, which was used to store and package drugs before sale.
Gonzalez faces future sentencing in U.S. District Court in Concord, N.H.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security led the investigation with help from the Strafford County Sheriff’s Office and New Hampshire State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mike Shannon and Yasir Sadat are prosecuting the case.
