Jesse R. Lohman, 37, Pleads Guilty to Methamphetamine Trafficking in New Hampshire
CONCORD – Jesse R. Lohman, 37, of Lempster, New Hampshire, has pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, announced United States Attorney Scott W. Murray.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on August 31, 2018, police encountered Lohman in the driver’s seat of a parked car at the Route 3A Park and Ride parking lot in Bow, New Hampshire. Lohman was alone in the car. After determining that there was a warrant for Lohman’s arrest, officers detained him and impounded the car. During a subsequent search of the car, officers discovered six bags containing approximately 76.1 grams of 99 percent pure methamphetamine.
Lohman is scheduled to be sentenced on July 12, 2019. “Methamphetamine is a very dangerous drug that is appearing with more frequency in New Hampshire,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “Because of the dangers associated with this substance, we will work closely with our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute those who are responsible for distributing methamphetamine. I am grateful to the police offices from Bow whose efforts prevented a significant amount of highly-pure methamphetamine from being sold in our community.”
This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bow Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John S. Davis.
Lohman was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, a federal crime. He is currently awaiting sentencing.
The case highlights the ongoing issue of methamphetamine trafficking in New Hampshire. The state has seen an increase in methamphetamine-related crimes in recent years.
Lohman’s guilty plea is a significant step in holding individuals accountable for their involvement in the distribution of methamphetamine.
