CONCORD, N.H. - United States Attorney Jane E. Young announced that Gary Sewell, 41, previously of Enfield, was sentenced to 72 months in prison for participating in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. 

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 co-defendant Heather 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. The methamphetamine was intended for further distribution. 

All of Sewell’s co-defendants previously pleaded guilty. Andrew Hutchins pleaded guilty on May 5, 2022, and was sentenced on August 30, 2022.  Dubeau pleaded guilty on May 4, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on February 16, 2023.  Eli Margolis pleaded guilty on May 27, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on February 16, 2023.  Chad Rombow pleaded guilty on January 26, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on February 21, 2023. Dylan Miles pleaded guilty on February 15, 2022, and is scheduled to be sentenced on February 27, 2023. 

“The distribution of methamphetamine is a major concern in the Granite State,” said U.S. Attorney Young.  “We will be aggressive in our efforts to address the public safety issues presented by this dangerous drug.” 

U.S. Attorney Jane Young stated after the conviction:  “The defendant actively engaged in a conspiracy to ship methamphetamine from Arizona to New Hampshire, such conduct will be vigorously investigated and prosecuted.”

This matter was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Anna Krasinski.
