Capital Region Drug Dealer Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Charges

CONCORD, NH — A capital region drug dealing pleaded guilty to methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking in U.S. District Court on Monday.

Adam Beck, 26, of Boscawen offered the plea after court documents and testimony revealed he was involved in major drug dealing operations around the capital region including Boscawen and Warner. A “cooperating individual” assisted the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Task Force with “controlled buys” of meth and fentanyl in October 2020. After a multi-month investigation, Beck was arrested.

During the arrest, investigators found $1,200 in cash and a small bag of fentanyl. After obtaining a warrant and searching a Webster home that Beck was associated with, investigators found a pound and a half of meth, around 100 grams of fentanyl, and about $15,000 in cash as well as other “incriminating items” that belonged to Beck.

“Drug traffickers who seek to profit from the sale of dangerous drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine are a threat to communities throughout New Hampshire,” Acting U.S. Attorney John Farley said. “Law enforcement officers are working together to protect the Granite State from drug dealers and the deadly products they sell. This successful prosecution was a result of that collaboration and it prevented significant amounts of fentanyl and methamphetamine from being sold in our state.”

Along with the AG’s Office, Concord and Webster police, the Merrimack County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Marshals Service all worked the case.

Beck will be sentenced in December.

Beck has been arrested numerous times around the state on various drug charges, according to online posts and superior court documents.

After a driving while intoxicated and drug possession arrest in New London in September 2017, Beck reached a plea deal with a suspended sentence for two years on the felony drug charge in March 2018 while other charges were dropped.

A little more than two years after that arrrest, he faced numerous charges in Webster including meth dealing, reckless conduct, reckless operation, drug possession, driving after revocation or suspension, and other charges. Beck was also arrested in Lebanon on meth and heroin charges.

In August 2020, he pleaded guilty to the Webster reckless conduct, meth sales, and revocation, and other charges, while the Lebanon charges were dropped. In April, Beck also pleaded guilty to violation of probation or parole connected to the case.

In August 2020, he pleaded guilty to delivery of weapon, contraband into the Merrimack County Jail in Boscawen.

Beck was also arrested and charged with nine possession-sale of narcotic charges in December 2020 in Boscawen, Concord, and Webster. Those charges were nolle prossed in March.

This past February, the AG’s Office filed a complaint to acquire $16,060 in cash from Beck and was awarded a default judgment by the court after Beck failed to file in a timely manner.
