CONCORD- United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced that Christopher Chandonnais, 28, of Manchester, was sentenced to 24 months in prison for oxycodone trafficking.
According to court documents and statements made in court, on Oct. 19, 2017, the Nashua Police Department conducted surveillance of the defendant making a drug sale to another drug distributor. They subsequently searched the defendant’s vehicle and recovered approximately ninety 30-mg oxycodone pills and over $11,000. The investigation confirmed that the defendant regularly sold oxycodone pills and made a profit of approximately $10 per pill sold. The $11,000 has been forfeited.
The defendant was sentenced to 24 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
“The abuse and illegal sale of oxycodone and other opioids presents an ongoing danger to the health and safety of our community," said U.S. Attorney Murray. “To reduce this threat, we will aggressively investigate, arrest and prosecute those who trade in these deadly substances."
This matter was investigated by the Nashua Police Department, with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Georgiana L. Konesky.
