CONCORD - Heather Dubeau, 38, of Enfield, Andrew Hutchins, 43, Lebanon, Eli Margolis, 40, of Grantham, and Gary Sewell, 40, of Enfield have pleaded guilty this month in federal court to conspiracy to distribute, and possess with intent to distribute, methamphetamine, United States Attorney Jane E. Young announced today.
According to court documents and statements made in court, the defendants were involved in a conspiracy to ship methamphetamine from Arizona to New Hampshire. In May of 2019, Drug Enforcement Administration agents were alerted to suspicious parcels sent from Sewell and Dubeau in Arizona to two different addresses in New Hampshire. Investigators obtained a warrant to open the packages and found that one contained over 336 grams of methamphetamine and the other contained over 665 grams of methamphetamine.
After obtaining an anticipatory search warrant for the New Hampshire addresses, investigators conducted controlled deliveries of each package with the drugs removed from the package. Investigators observed Margolis collect one package after it was delivered. Investigators learned that Hutchins provided co-defendants Sewell and Dubeau with an address to ship the methamphetamine. The methamphetamine was intended for further distribution.
Dubeau pleaded guilty on May 4, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 20, 2022. Hutchins pleaded guilty on May 5, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 30, 2022.
