NH Mom Charged with Selling Crack – Again

MANCHESTER, NH — A local woman who was arrested last year on an intent to distribute charge was arraigned in court this morning after allegedly selling crack cocaine out of her Maple Street home, according to Manchester Police. Sandra Quintanilla, 39, of Maple Street in Manchester, was arrested on Nov. 16, 2016, on two felony sale of narcotics-crack cocaine charges.

Quintanilla had been, according to police, the subject of a drug investigation before the special enforcement division executed a search warrant of her home yesterday. At just after 2:30 p.m., Lt. Brian O’Keefe of the Manchester Police Department noted, detectives entered her apartment and arrested her on warrants.

“They located and seized 5.9 grams of crack-cocaine, over $1,000 cash and small plastic bag’s commonly used to package narcotics inside of the apartment,” O’Keefe alleged, “as well as Quintanilla’s 8-month-old child who was sleeping inside a back bedroom. Quintanilla’s other three children were at school at the time of the incident.”

Quintanilla had no family to speak of in the immediate area so her children were placed in the care of DCYF, O’Keefe stated. She was arraigned today in court.

Quintanilla, according to a post on Bedford NH Patch from last year, was charged with possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine after drug raids and numerous arrests in Manchester.
