CONCORD, N.H. – Thirteen defendants have been indicted in connection with drug trafficking organizations out of Manchester and Concord, U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young announces.

Over the past week and a half, law enforcement arrested nine of these defendants on conspiracies to distribute controlled substance charges, namely methamphetamine and fentanyl. 

The following defendants have been indicted in connection with these charges:

1. Rashidahmed Cantave, 42, of Boston, Massachusetts, who was released on federal pretrial supervision.
2. Matthew Schnell, 43, of Bellingham, Massachusetts, who is in federal custody.
3. Thomas Conway, 53, of Bedford, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
4. Michael Raiche, 47, of Manchester, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
5. Angel Demarco, 41, of Manchester, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
6. Anthony Conley, 47, of Gilmanton, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
7. Dennis Drew, 50, of Northfield, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
8. Robby Lewis, 51, of Manchester, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.
9. Maureen Corsetti, 34, of Manchester, New Hampshire, who was released on federal pretrial supervision.
10. Serene Hull, 38, of Concord, New Hampshire, who is in federal custody.

12. Jeremy Trask, 35, of Milford, New Hampshire, who is in state custody.
13. Alton Ryan, 50, of Boscawen, New Hampshire, who is in state custody.

According to court documents and statements made in court, these drug trafficking rings have allegedly been supplying methamphetamine and fentanyl to customers since at least October 2022. 

The charges provide for a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.  Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation Major Offender Task Force and the New Hampshire State Police led the investigation.  Valuable assistance was provided by the Manchester Police Department, the Concord Police Department, the Bow Police Department, and the Seabrook Police Department.  Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jarad E. Hodes and Heather A. Cherniske are prosecuting the case.

The details contained in the charging documents are allegations.  The defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
