Niulmi Baez, a 26-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic and former Boston resident, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for distributing almost 700 grams of fentanyl in New Hampshire. The sentencing occurred on a date following his guilty plea on April 6, 2026. Baez pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 400 grams of fentanyl, a drug that has wreaked havoc across communities in New Hampshire and the country.
The investigation into Baez began in late 2021, when law enforcement learned that he was selling drugs. Between November 2021 and June 2022, an undercover officer engaged in a series of controlled purchases of drugs from Baez, sometimes in person and other times through a drug runner, including his co-defendant Hamet Badia.
U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan and Special Agent in Charge Jarod Forget of the New England Field Division emphasized the seriousness of the crime and the need to protect the public from the devastating effects of fentanyl. Baez’s sentence reflects the serious consequences for those who profit from distributing the deadly substance.
Baez’s sentencing is a result of the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies, including the DEA, to disrupt the illicit drug trade and hold accountable those who traffic fentanyl. The case highlights the ongoing efforts to combat the fentanyl epidemic and bring justice to those affected by it.
