Dominican Gets 100 Months for Selling Fentanyl, Heroin, Oxycodone

CONCORD, NH — A citizen of the Dominican Republic currently residing in Massachusetts has been sentenced to prison for more than eight years for drug dealing last year, according to a press statement.

Euris Daniel Paulino Guerrero, 24, of Lawrence, MA, was sentenced to 100 months in federal prison on Aug. 1, 2016, after pleading guilty in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire to a federal indictment charging him with two counts of distribution and one count of conspiracy to distribute the Schedule II controlled substance fentanyl.

According to court documents and statements, Guerrero sold fentanyl, heroin, and oxycodone to cooperating witnesses on three occasions during the summer of 2015. He also sold approximately 150 grams of fentanyl to a law enforcement officer acting in an undercover capacity.

"Pursuant to a search warrant executed at a residence associated with the conspiracy, law enforcement seized approximately 485 grams of fentanyl, an instrument used to compress drugs into 10-gram quantities for sale, blenders, and other packaging materials," according to U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice

Chief U.S. States District Judge Joseph LaPlante sentenced Guerrero to the prison term and four years of supervised release after that.

“This defendant was responsible for distributing hundreds if not thousands of doses of the lethal narcotic fentanyl in New Hampshire and Massachusetts,” Rice added. “My office will continue to focus our resources on targeting traffickers who attempt to profit from the drug epidemic plaguing our state.”
