Northwood Woman Sentenced to 43 Months for Methamphetamine Trafficking
CONCORD – Victoria Duford, a 27-year-old woman from Northwood, was sentenced to 43 months in prison for her role in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy, announced United States Attorney Scott W. Murray.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Duford purchased large amounts of methamphetamine from her co-conspirator Katrina Jones between July 2016 and April 2017. On at least six occasions during the same time period, Duford received postal packages containing large quantities of methamphetamine on behalf of Jones at addresses in New Hampshire.
Duford would bring the packages to Jones, who would often give Duford a portion of the methamphetamine as payment. Jones pleaded guilty to several counts of drug trafficking, including two counts of distributing methamphetamine, and was sentenced to serve 200 months in prison on August 18, 2018.
Duford had previously pleaded guilty on July 10, 2018. “Methamphetamine is a dangerous drug that has been appearing in New Hampshire with alarming frequency,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “This drug can cause terrible harm to those who use it. In order to deter dealers, we will coordinate with all of our law enforcement partners to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate those who sell methamphetamine.”
“DEA is committed to bringing to justice those who distribute methamphetamine,” said Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Boyle. “Today’s sentence not only holds Ms. Duford accountable for her crimes but serves as a warning that DEA and its local, state and federal partners will do everything in our power to keep this highly addictive drug off the streets of New Hampshire.”
This matter was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service, the N.H. Attorney General’s Drug Task Force, and the DEA. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney John Davis. Duford’s sentencing is a significant blow to the methamphetamine trafficking ring that operated in New Hampshire and highlights the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combat the scourge of methamphetamine in the state.”
