Convicted Drug Dealer Back Behind Bars: NH DOC

CONCORD, NH — The search for Dushon Waden, a convicted crack cocaine and heroin dealer, is over, according to the New Hampshire Department of Corrections. Waden, who was potentially up for parole as early as October after serving about four years in prison, turned himself in to the Calumet Transitional Housing Unit Monday afternoon after being placed on escape status on May 24, 2019. NH DOC officials accused him of not returning to the housing unit after working in Londonderry on Friday.

Waden is back at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord. He faces an additional 3.5 to seven years in prison if he is convicted of the felony escape charge.

Waden, according to press reports, accepted a plea deal back in 2015, after being busted along with more than 20 other people in 2014, as part of the Operation Holiday Harvest drug raids in the Upper Valley. He was sentenced to seven to 15-years in prison as part of the plea deal.
