Pair On Scripture Street Busted For Dealing Heroin: Nashua Cops

NASHUA, NH — Two more Gate City residents are facing charges after “extensive investigations into the distribution of illegal drugs in Nashua,” according to police. Amanda Tappan, 31, of Scripture Street in Nashua, was arrested on April 23, 2019, for acts prohibited; sale of a controlled drug-heroin-second offense and criminal liability for the conduct of another to sale of a controlled drug-heroin, both felonies. Also arrested was James Henry, 50, also of Scripture Street, for acts prohibited; sale of a controlled drug-heroin, a felony.

Both Tappan and Henry were arrested by the department’s Narcotics Intelligence Division, Problem Oriented Policing, and Traffic Enforcement units during an operation funded by the Granite Shield program. Tappan was held on bail and is due to be arraigned at a later date; Henry was released on bail.

According to previous posts on Patch, Tappan was indicted Hillsborough County Superior Court-South for possession and operating after suspension-subsequent after an incident on Chestnut Street in September 2016. She was also indicted in Rockingham County Superior Court in 2017 for possession of fentanyl in Salem back in November 2016.

Henry, according to the Nashua Telegraph, was arrested in December of last year after a traffic stop for a suspended license and registration. Cops allegedly found cash, a scale, crack cocaine reportedly hidden in his underwear, as well as other items during a search of the vehicle.

The Nashua Police Department is requesting residents to utilize its Narcotics Hotline – 603-59403597 – or its website – NashuaPD.com – to report any information about illegal drug activity in the city.
