CONCORD – Mark T. Moore, 38, of Loudon, was sentenced in federal court 50 months in prison for participating in a conspiracy to distribute, and possess with intent to distribute, methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Scott Murray said.

Moore previously pleaded guilty on Jan. 17.

“Highly pure methamphetamine is appearing in New Hampshire with greater frequency,” Murray said. “We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to identify, prosecute, and incarcerate those who are responsible for distributing this very dangerous drug in the Granite State. Drug traffickers who choose to sell methamphetamine in New Hampshire should understand that their conduct will result in substantial prison sentences.”

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent In Charge Brian Boyle: “This sentence reflects DEA’s strong commitment to bring to justice those that distribute methamphetamine. DEA and its local, state and federal law enforcement partners will do everything in our power to keep this highly addictive drug off the streets of New Hampshire.”
