CONCORD, N.H. – Another cog in the Granite State’s drug pipeline is heading to federal prison. Gary Sewell, 41, formerly of Enfield, New Hampshire, received a 72-month sentence today for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine distribution conspiracy, U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announced.
The bust stemmed from a May 2019 investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Agents flagged suspicious packages originating from Sewell and his accomplice, Heather Dubeau, both in Arizona, destined for addresses in New Hampshire. A warrant authorized a peek inside, and what they found wasn’t postcards. One package contained over 336 grams of pure methamphetamine. The other? A whopping 665 grams. This wasn’t personal use; it was product intended to flood New Hampshire streets.
Sewell wasn’t working alone. A network of co-defendants have already begun to face the music. Andrew Hutchins, who pleaded guilty on May 5, 2022, is already serving his sentence after being sentenced on August 30, 2022. Heather Dubeau, Sewell’s partner in the Arizona end of the operation, pleaded guilty on May 4, 2022, and is slated for sentencing on February 16, 2023. Eli Margolis (May 27, 2022 guilty plea) and Chad Rombow (January 26, 2022 guilty plea) also await sentencing on February 16th and 21st respectively. Dylan Miles, who copped a plea on February 15, 2022, will learn his fate on February 27, 2023.
“The distribution of methamphetamine is a major concern in the Granite State,” a stern U.S. Attorney Young stated. “We will be aggressive in our efforts to address the public safety issues presented by this dangerous drug.” This conviction is a small victory, but the fight against the relentless flow of narcotics into New Hampshire is far from over.
Young didn’t mince words after the sentencing. “The defendant actively engaged in a conspiracy to ship methamphetamine from Arizona to New Hampshire, such conduct will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted.” The message is clear: move this poison into New Hampshire, and you’ll face the full weight of federal law.
The case was a joint effort between the United States Postal Inspection Service and the DEA. Assistant United States Attorney Anna Krasinski skillfully prosecuted the case, securing the 72-month sentence for Sewell. While Sewell’s locked up, the Grimy Times will continue to track the sentencing of his cohorts and expose the networks that profit from misery.
