PELHAM – Pelham detectives closed out an ongoing drug investigation with two arrests. Detectives were conducting an undercover sting through Facebook over the past few weeks. They were approached by an individual online that was attempting to engage in the distribution of heroin in Southern New Hampshire, including Pelham. After days of negotiating a price for the purchase of heroin, the individual agreed to deliver $500 worth of heroin to an undisclosed location in Pelham.

Pelham detectives then partnered with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Task Force and conduct surveillance and arrest the individual for the distribution on May 19.

Ryan Carroll, a female from Nashua NH, 33, and Chase Tetrault, a male from Lincoln, 31, were taken into custody in the McDonald’s parking lot on Bridge Street in Pelham. Carroll was arrested on two outstanding warrants. One warrant was out of Rockingham County for receiving stolen property and also a charging her as an accomplice of theft by deception. The second warrant was out of Hillsborough Superior Court for multiple drug-related charges including,sale of methamphetamine, possession of controlled drug (crack cocaine), possession of amphetamine and one charge of intent to distribute fentanyl. She is currently being held on bail at the Valley Street Jail.

Tetrault was arrested on charges of felony possession of heroin and was later bailed on personal recognizance and will appear in the Hillsborough County Superior Court at a later date.

Detectives seized the vehicle they had traveled in and applied for a search warrant. On May 20, a search warrant was granted and executed by Pelham detectives for an immediate search of the vehicle. During this search, detectives located heroin that was packaged for sale and methamphetamine paraphernalia. Additional evidence was also seized, which may lead to further criminal charges for the pair as the investigation is ongoing.
