CONCORD –
Kristina Blake, 29, of Northfield, pleaded guilty in federal court to
participating in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, United States
Attorney Scott W. Murray announced today.
According
to court documents and statements made in court, on September 19, 2018 law
enforcement officers encountered Blake and Daniel Irving in a vehicle near a
convenience store in Concord, New Hampshire.
Officers seized from the vehicle more than five grams of methamphetamine
and two firearms. In addition, drug
paraphernalia, including a glass mirror, digital scale, a ledger, syringes and
plastic baggies were seized.
Blake is
scheduled to be sentenced on November 21, 2019.
Irving previously pleaded guilty on July 1, 2019 and is scheduled to be
sentenced on October 10, 2019.
“The
distribution of methamphetamine puts public health and safety at great risk,”
said U.S. Attorney Murray. “This is a
dangerous drug that should be recognized as a rising threat to our community.
In order to deter traffickers, we will work closely with our law enforcement
partners to identify, arrest, and prosecute those who are responsible for its
sale.”
“New
Hampshire is being ravaged by a steady influx of illegal and deadly drugs, and
today Ms. Blake is finally owning up to her role in contributing to the
problem,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston
Division. “The FBI will continue to work
with our law enforcement partners to aggressively identify and bring to justice
those who threaten the health and safety of our neighborhoods.”
This matter
was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Concord Police
Department. The case is being prosecuted
by Assistant U.S. Attorney John S. Davis.
