A Laconia man has been sentenced to 50 months in federal prison for methamphetamine trafficking, according to a recent announcement from United States Attorney Scott W. Murray.
Peter Dauphin, 45, of Laconia, was sentenced on no specific date given in the source for selling “ice” methamphetamine to an individual who was cooperating with law enforcement officers.
The sales took place at Dauphin’s automotive repair shop in Gilford, New Hampshire, on five separate occasions in April and May of 2017.
Dauphin’s crimes demonstrate the ongoing problems associated with methamphetamine distribution in New Hampshire, despite the state’s struggles with the opioid crisis.
“Even in the midst of the opioid crisis, New Hampshire continues to experience problems associated with the distribution of other drugs, including methamphetamine,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “Prosecutions such as this demonstrate that the law enforcement community is continuing in its cooperative effort to stop all forms of drug trafficking in the Granite State.”
The case was investigated by the Police Departments of Gilford and Laconia, in conjunction with the FBI New Hampshire Safe Streets Gang Task Force.
The Task Force is comprised of the FBI, the New Hampshire State Police, New Hampshire Probation and Parole, and the Police Departments of Hudson, Manchester, and Nashua. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Shane B. Kelbley.
