Concord Man Sentenced to 77 Months for Drug Trafficking

            CONCORD - Jason Sfara, 44, of Concord, was sentenced to 77 months in prison for possession of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine with intent to distribute, United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced today.

             According to court documents and statements made in court, parole officers attempted to conduct a parole inspection of Sfara's apartment in Concord on May 15, 2018, and Sfara fled to the roof of the building. The Concord Police Department responded to provide assistance and arrested Sfara on the roof. Officers ultimately obtained a search warrant for Sfara's apartment and found an array of illegal drugs including 107.8 grams of fentanyl, 32 grams of cocaine, and 20 grams of methamphetamine, along with digital scales and other drug distribution paraphernalia.

            Sfara previously pleaded guilty on November 26, 2018.

            “In New Hampshire, drug trafficking has created the most serious public health hazard in living memory and also the greatest challenge for law enforcement,” said U.S. Attorney Murray.  “I commend the Concord Police Department for its efforts to remove these deadly substances from the streets of our Capital City.  We continue to work closely with all of our law enforcement partners to identify, prosecute, and incarcerate those who choose to endanger our community by selling dangerous illegal drugs.”

            This matter was investigated by the Concord Police Department.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarad Hodes.
