Patrick J. Brooks II, Oxycodone Trafficking, New Hampshire 2017

CONCORD, N.H. – A 37-year-old Boscawen man has been found guilty of drug trafficking after a series of undercover purchases of oxycodone revealed his role as a major supplier.

Patrick J. Brooks II pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to possessing oxycodone with intent to distribute. According to court documents and statements made during Brooks’ plea hearing, in June and July 2016, a Concord police detective made a series of undercover purchases of oxycodone from an individual who told the undercover detective that Brooks was her supplier and had been selling oxycodone for eleven years.

On July 20, 2016, police officers executed a search warrant at Brooks’ Boscawen home, yielding nearly 2,000 oxycodone pills and approximately $20,000 in cash. The cash recovered from Brooks’ home included currency that the Concord police detective used to buy oxycodone in one of the undercover transactions.

This is a significant blow to the illicit oxycodone trade in New Hampshire. Brooks’ guilty plea is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies in the state.

Brooks is scheduled to be sentenced on May 30, 2017, and faces up to 20 years in prison for his crimes. The case was investigated by the Concord Police Department with important assistance from the Boscawen Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Bill Morse.

As the opioid epidemic continues to plague New Hampshire, it is essential that we hold those responsible for fueling this crisis accountable. Brooks’ guilty plea is a crucial step in that process.

The investigation and prosecution of this case serve as a reminder that law enforcement agencies are committed to protecting the citizens of New Hampshire from the scourge of drug trafficking.
