Johan M. Rodriguez, Fentanyl Conspiracy, New Hampshire 2023

In a stunning revelation, Johan M. Rodriguez, a 37-year-old man from Lawrence, Massachusetts, has pleaded guilty to a federal crime in New Hampshire. On an unspecified date, he conspired with another Lawrence-based drug trafficker to deliver approximately ten kilograms of fentanyl to an individual in Dover cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

The shocking case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations’ Major Offender Task Force, which worked closely with the Dover Police Department and the Strafford County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer C. Davis, Deputy Chief of U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young’s Criminal Division, is prosecuting the case.

As a result of Rodriguez’s guilty plea, he is scheduled to be sentenced on July 6, 2023. This effort is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation, which uses a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States.

Rodriguez’s crimes are a stark reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl trafficking on local communities. The substance has been linked to numerous overdose deaths in New Hampshire and beyond. Law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to combat the scourge of fentanyl trafficking and bring those responsible to justice.

The OCDETF Program is a critical tool in the fight against organized crime. By sharing intelligence and coordinating efforts across agencies, law enforcement can more effectively disrupt and dismantle the networks responsible for fentanyl trafficking.

Rodriguez’s case is a testament to the bravery and dedication of law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe. We commend their efforts and look forward to seeing justice served.
