CONCORD, NH.- On Thursday, December 19, 2024, Leuris Xavier Guerrero Valdez, 30, of Methuen, Massachusetts, appeared in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire and was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Landya McCafferty to 72 months in federal prison, to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release for his conviction on the Distribution of Methamphetamine.

     According to U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young and charging information filed with the court, beginning in June 2023 and lasting through March 2024, Guerrero Valdez sold methamphetamine to an undercover Police Officer on eleven separate occasions in New Hampshire. After the final sale, investigators arrested Guerrero Valdez.

     Following his arrest, investigators obtained and executed a court-authorized search warrant at Guerrero Valdez’s residence, where he stored illicit drugs. During the search, investigators found and seized large quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine.

     “Methamphetamine, a dangerous and highly addictive drug, wreaks havoc on public health and safety,” said U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young. “Individuals like the defendant who profit from poisoning our communities will be held accountable. Law enforcement will continue to focus on identifying and disrupting individuals distributing deadly drugs throughout New Hampshire.”
