The warrant for his arrest was issued in November 2021 out of the U.S. District Court in Concord.

“Martinez Rolon originally pleaded guilty in 2020 to selling fentanyl,” Grillo said. “Since November 2021, Martinez Rolon has been avoiding capture. The new case agent has requested assistance from the public in locating Martinez Rolon, who is believed to have strong ties to Manchester.”

Online reports stated he was one of seven people to be accused of trafficking fentanyl in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Many received multi-year sentences after arrests in 2018.

According to superior court records, Martinez Rolon pleaded guilty to misdemeanor controlled drug: controlled premises where drugs kept and driving after revocation or suspension charges in December 2017, after being arrested in Manchester earlier that year. Originally, he faced a felony controlled drug act: acts prohibited charge, but the charge was amended later. A felony falsifying physical evidence charge was nolle prossed as part of the plea deal. In February 2019, he was accused of violating a court order and, in March 2019, failed to appear in Hillsborough County Superior Court North. A warrant was issued for his arrest. No other information was available about the case.
