North Hampton Man Sentenced to 18 Months for Methamphetamine Trafficking

            CONCORD - Christopher Pierro, 29, of North Hampton, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, United States Attorney John J. Farley announced today.

            According to court documents and statements made in court, on March 3, 2020, postal inspectors and police officers executed a search warrant at Pierro’s North Hampton residence.  Investigators located nearly $80,000 in cash, a Rolex watch and other jewelry, body armor, drug packaging materials and an extensive amount of packaging consistent with mailed parcels.  Investigators also located over 84 grams of methamphetamine. 

            Pierro previously pleaded guilty on August 3, 2021.  Following his arrest, Pierro forfeited cash, cryptocurrency, and a substantial amount of additional property.    

            “Methamphetamine traffickers seek to reap profits from selling a very dangerous drug,” said U.S. Attorney Farley.  “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute these drug dealers and hold them responsible for their unlawful activities.”

            This matter was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John S. Davis.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Rabuck assisted in the forfeiture portion of the case.
