Jason L. Brewer, 36, of Milton, New Hampshire, was sentenced to time served—over 15 months—after pleading guilty to conspiracy to possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute. The conviction stems from a high-speed interstate drug run that ended in a chaotic foot chase across I-95 at the Hampton tolls, where nearly 35 grams of heroin and an ounce of cocaine were recovered.
On July 12, 2016, a New Hampshire State Police trooper pulled Brewer over for multiple motor vehicle violations while he drove northbound on I-95. Inside the vehicle was passenger Timothy W. Kondroski. What started as a routine traffic stop exploded into a dangerous pursuit when Kondroski fled on foot, darting across four lanes of heavy traffic toward the toll lane barriers. The trooper gave chase, shouting commands to stop as Kondroski attempted to scale the divider.
During the scramble, Kondroski lost both sneakers on the roadway. As the officer retrieved them, he discovered a bag containing approximately 35 grams of heroin lying near the vehicle. Inside one of the discarded sneakers, investigators found a second package—this one holding about one ounce of cocaine. The recovery revealed a coordinated trafficking effort, not casual possession.
Brewer and Kondroski both admitted they had purchased the drugs in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Kondroski confessed he paid $2,700 for the narcotics and intended to distribute them in New Hampshire. The Lawrence-to-Hampton pipeline is a known corridor for drug traffickers exploiting interstate routes to supply rural and suburban markets.
Brewer entered his guilty plea on August 1, 2017. His co-defendant, Timothy W. Kondroski, was sentenced on January 8, 2018, to 54 months in federal prison. Prosecutors emphasized that Brewer’s 15-month pre-trial detention was factored into the final sentence, a decision that underscores the federal system’s scrutiny of both conduct and cooperation.
“Interstate drug trafficking continues to endanger lives throughout New Hampshire,” said U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray. “Determined action by the state trooper prevented the drugs from reaching their intended destination and ensured that Mr. Brewer was before a judge today to face justice. Traffickers should be aware that federal prison terms await those who engage in the drug trade.” The case was investigated by the New Hampshire State Police and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Dronzek, with prior involvement by former Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Morse.
