            CONCORD – United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced that Steven Moore, 36, and Samantha Merrifield, 35, both of Plymouth, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.

           Court filings and statements made in court established that Moore and Merrifield arranged to sell approximately 50 grams of fentanyl to an undercover police officer on October 10, 2018.

           Moore and Merrifield will be sentenced on March 27, 2019.
