Dawson Boston, Fentanyl Distribution, New Hampshire 2019

CONCORD – A Rochester man is facing serious charges after pleading guilty to distributing fentanyl in New Hampshire. Dawson Boston, 23, of Rochester, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute fentanyl, and two counts of distribution of fentanyl, United States Attorney Jane E. Young announced today.

According to court documents and statements made in court, in February 2019, the FBI learned that Boston was selling fentanyl in the Rochester area. Between April 9, 2019 and July 29, 2019, the FBI used informants to make six controlled purchases from Boston, resulting in the purchase of a total of approximately 489 grams of fentanyl.

Boston’s actions led to a significant amount of fentanyl being distributed in the area, putting the lives of many at risk. The FBI’s efforts to catch Boston were successful, and he is now facing serious consequences for his crimes.

The defendant is scheduled to be sentenced on November 7, 2022. This case highlights the importance of law enforcement’s efforts to combat the opioid epidemic and bring those responsible to justice.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Dover Police Department, and the New Hampshire State Police. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Dronzek.

Boston’s guilty plea is a significant development in this case, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions. The consequences of fentanyl distribution can be severe, and Boston’s sentence will reflect the seriousness of his crimes.

The case is a reminder that law enforcement is committed to keeping communities safe and will continue to work tirelessly to combat the opioid epidemic.
