Kermit Ceasar, Cocaine and Crack Cocaine Distribution, New Hampshire 2021

Kermit Ceasar, a 45-year-old Manchester resident, was sentenced to 108 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of cocaine distribution and six counts of crack cocaine distribution.

The convictions resulted from a series of drug sales that Ceasar made in Manchester to an undercover informant between April and September of 2021. This case is Ceasar's third federal drug conviction in the District of New Hampshire.

U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young stated, 'Kermit Ceasar is a recidivist drug dealer who, for his entire adult life when not imprisoned, has been selling crack cocaine in Manchester. Today's significant sentence will hopefully send the message to those who traffic crack cocaine that my office will take all steps possible to protect the public from recidivist drug dealers.'

Ceasear's lengthy sentence was also supported by the FBI's Special Agent in Charge, Joseph R. Bonavolonta, who stated, 'Through his own actions, Ceasar has repeatedly degraded the community in which he lives and put public safety at risk.'

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Manchester Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Seth R. Aframe.

Ceasear's record of drug distribution dates back to his entire adult life, with the only time he was not dealing crack being when he was behind bars for approximately 20 of the last 27 years. His actions have put public safety at risk and degraded the community in which he lives.

The sentencing of Ceasar is a significant step in keeping New Hampshire communities safe from career criminals. The U.S. Attorney's Office will continue to take all necessary steps to protect the public from recidivist drug dealers like Ceasar.
