             CONCORD – United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced that a federal jury found Bernard Lindsay, 41, of Concord, New Hampshire, guilty of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. The verdict was returned on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.

            According to trial exhibits and witness testimony during the two-day jury trial, on April 16, 2018, the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, Office of Probation and Parole, conducted a home visit at the defendant’s residence in Concord, New Hampshire. In the home, officers found a box containing over 16 grams of methamphetamine, over 23 grams of fentanyl, and over 34 grams of cocaine.

            Lindsay is scheduled to be sentenced on August 6, 2019.

            “New Hampshire continues to suffer from the effects of drug trafficking” said U.S. Attorney Murray.  “Fentanyl has caused grave damage to our community, cocaine is an ongoing health concern, and methamphetamine is a dangerous drug that is appearing with increasing frequency.  I am grateful for the efforts of the law enforcement officers whose work led to this conviction and thank the jury for its service.”

            This matter was investigated by the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, Office of Probation and Parole, the Concord Police Department, and the Drug Enforcement Administration.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Cam T. Le and Georgiana L. Konesky.
