Concord – A Haverhill man has been sentenced to 46 months in federal prison for his part in a fentanyl trafficking conspiracy that spanned across New England.
Trevor Ahearn, 28, was employed by a drug trafficking organization to distribute over 400 grams of the deadly substance. On each workday, he received at least one 200-gram bag of fentanyl and was expected to return approximately $6,000 in proceeds. Ahearn’s sentence follows his guilty plea on October 23, 2018.
“Fentanyl is a lethal threat to our state,” said U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray. “We will not rest until the traffickers who bring this poison are brought to justice.”
The DEA’s Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Boyle echoed the sentiment, stating that New Hampshire is in the midst of a devastating opioid crisis, and the DEA will continue using all available resources to combat the epidemic.
This investigation was a massive collaborative effort involving numerous federal and local law enforcement agencies, including the DEA, New Hampshire State Police, Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, and more. The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Georgiana L. Konesky and Seth R. Aframe.
With Ahearn’s sentence, 33 defendants have been charged in this conspiracy to distribute deadly drugs, emphasizing the government’s commitment to tackling the opioid crisis head-on.
