Nashua Man Pleads Guilty To Fentanyl Trafficking

          CONCORD, N.H. – Acting United States Attorney John J. Farley announced that Neil Doiron, 37, of Nashua, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty in federal court today to one count of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl and one count of possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute.

          Court filings and statements made in court established that a cooperating individual made four controlled buys of fentanyl from Doiron and a co-conspirator. On December 8, 2016, Doiron was arrested while in possession of a backpack containing approximately 79 grams of fentanyl. While searching his residence pursuant to a search warrant, officers found various controlled substances, drug packaging materials, five firearms, and over $25,000 in cash.

          A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for January 4, 2018.

         “The United States Attorney’s Office is committed to working with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute those who are distributing drugs in our community,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Farley.  “We will continue to do all that we can to prevent the distribution of deadly drugs like fentanyl in the Granite State.”

          The case was investigated by the Nashua Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Georgiana L. Konesky.
