2 Arrested In Portsmouth During ‘Granite Shield’ Operation

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Two alleged heroin dealers in the Seacoast area were arrested yesterday as part of a Granite Shield Opioid Grant implemented by the Portsmouth Police Department. Arrested on Jan. 25, 2018, were Alexandra Roy, 24, of Main Street in Salisbury, MA, for felony possession with intent to sell a controlled drug-heroin and possession of a controlled drug in a motor vehicle, and Greg Levesque, 29, of Old Turnpike Road in Nottingham, who was charged with conspiracy to possession with intent to sell a controlled drug-heroin and warrant for a probation violation on a first-degree assault charge, both felonies, as well as possession of a controlled drug-marijuana.

Portsmouth Police working with the Seacoast High Intensity Drug Interdiction Team – officers and detectives from the Seabrook, Hampton, and Greenland Police Departments – as well as the New Hampshire State Police Mobile Enforcement Team were conducting a “drug interdiction operation” when Roy and Levesque were stopped yesterday on I-95 North in Portsmouth, just before the rotary, according to Lt. Mark Newport of the Portsmouth Police Department.

Roy was initially charged with hindering apprehension by the NHSP. More charges, however, were initiated after she was allegedly found to be in possession of heroin and a Walther .38 handgun while being searched.

Levesque was initially charged with obstructing government administration after allegedly providing a false identity to the NHSP. After being properly identified, he was found to have an active warrant. He was allegedly in possession of $880 in cash so he was also charged with being a co-conspirator with Roy.

Levesque was held without bail and will be arraigned today in Rockingham County Superior Court via the Felonies First program. Roy was processed and held on $2,500 cash bail and will be arraigned today.

Levesque, according to a post on Patch, was charged with assault last year in Hampton, where he previously lived, after allegedly kicking and punching another person during a fight.

Portsmouth Police are asking the public to submit any other information they may know about the individuals or investigation by contacting Det. Michael Kotsonis at 603-610-7523.
