Haverhill Man Sentenced for Fentanyl Conspiracy Charges

Sergio Garcia, 37, pleaded guilty in March 2022 to one count of conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl and one count of possession with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.

According to court documents, Garcia received one kilogram of fentanyl through the U.S. Postal Service in April 2020. He directed his brother-in-law to procure the package and deliver the fentanyl to his home in Haverhill.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip C. Cheng prosecuted the case, which was announced by United States Attorney Rachael S. Rollins, Ketty Larco-Ward, Inspector in Charge of the United States Postal Inspection Service’s Boston Field Office, and Brian D. Boyle, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England Field Division.

Garcia was sentenced to 46 months in prison and two years of supervised release by U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs.
