In the 2025 case, Barrera was sentenced on one count of possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell, subsequent offense, and three counts of sale of a controlled drug, subsequent offense. The court ordered him to serve six to 12 years in state prison on the possession with intent to sell charge, with one year suspended from the minimum if he successfully completes substance abuse treatment while incarcerated. On the three sale charges in the 2025 case, the court imposed seven-and-a-half to 15 years in state prison, all suspended for 10 years from the date of Barrera’s release. According to the attorney general’s office, those sentences would be served consecutively to the possession with intent to sell sentence if imposed, and concurrently with each other.

In the 2024 case, Barrera was sentenced on two counts of sale of a controlled drug, subsequent offense, and one count of possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell, subsequent offense. The court imposed two to four years in state prison on each of the three charges. Those sentences are to run concurrently with each other and with the sentence in the 2025 case.

The attorney general's office said evidence in the 2025 case showed that on three dates in January 2025, Barrera sold crack cocaine to a confidential informant working with Nashua police. When he was arrested, he was found with about 51 grams of fentanyl. Barrera was previously convicted in 2010 and admitted in a post-arrest interview that he intended to resell the fentanyl found on him.

Police also determined Barrera made thousands of drug sales to people in New Hampshire and was traveling to Massachusetts several times a week to resupply. In the 2024 case, the evidence established that he sold crack cocaine to a confidential informant in August 2023, sold fentanyl to a confidential informant in October 2023, and possessed fentanyl with the intent to sell in January 2024.
