Concord Woman Arrested On 2 Fentanyl Distribution, 4 Possession Charges Twice In 6 Weeks

CONCORD, NH — Concord police have arrested a known felon on drug distribution charges after two incidents during the past six weeks.

On March 9, officers were involved in a drug investigation at Walmart in Concord after witnesses reported seeing a woman inserting a needle into her arm in the parking lot, John Thomas, the deputy chief of the Concord Police Department, stated. Police identified Robin Lynn Lane, 55, of Concord, to be the woman, and accused her of having more than $2,000 in cash as well as possessing a gram of cocaine, a gram of methamphetamine, and 13 grams of fentanyl-heroin. She was arrested on a single count of possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and three possession charges, all felonies.

On Monday, officers conducted a traffic stop in a vehicle Lane was driving, Thomas said.

“Lane was found to be in possession of approximately 25 grams of heroin/fentanyl,” he said.

Police also found her to be wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the Methuen MA Police Department for possession of heroin.

Lane was arrested on habitual offender, possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, and possession of a controlled drug charges, all felonies.

Lane was held in the Merrimack County Jail in Boscawen. She was arraigned on the charges in Merrimack Count Superior Court on Wednesday.

Thomas said the investigation into Lane was supported by Operation Granite Shield, a grant-funded initiative targeting illegal drug trafficking in local communities.

According to superior court records, Lane’s criminal record dates back more than two decades, when she was arrested on an acts prohibited charge in November 2001 and two felony habitual offender charges in Concord in December 2001. Lane pleaded guilty to all the charges in March 2002. Lane was charged with three more acts prohibited charges in October 2004 and April 2005. She pleaded guilty to two of the charges in 2005 and 2006. In 2008, she was arrested on a habitual offender charge in Franklin and five acts prohibited charges in Concord. Lane was charged with bail jumping in March 2009. In February 2014, she was arrested again on a habitual offender charge in Concord. Four years later, Lane was arrested on three acts prohibited and three deal-possess prescription drug charges. Lane was arrested again in Concord between 2021 and 2023 on a dozen and a half controlled drug: acts prohibited and habitual offender charges in Bow and Concord.
