CONCORD –
William Greenleaf, 43, of Nashua, pleaded guilty in federal court to
participating in a conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine, United States
Attorney Scott W. Murray announced today.
According
to court documents and statements made in court, Greenleaf was a member of a
drug trafficking organization that distributed crack cocaine and other drugs to
various customers in the Nashua area.
Greenleaf is scheduled to be sentenced on
April 28, 2020.
“Crack
cocaine is an illegal substance that endangers the lives of users and
undermines the safety of our communities” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “Together with our federal, state, and local
law enforcement partners, we continue to work toward ending the sale of
dangerous drugs in New Hampshire. The
action of the FBI and Nashua Police Department in this case, served to protect
Granite Staters from the overall harmful impact of unlawful drug sales.”
"The
investigation of this Nashua-based drug trafficking organization and its
associates, including William Greenleaf, can only have a positive impact. It's
our hope that lives will be saved, and that others are spared being introduced
to the crack cocaine he either bought from the group and resold or helped bring
into neighborhoods by driving its members to their own sales calls," said
Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division.
"While we are pleased by Mr. Greenleaf's acceptance of responsibility
today, the FBI remains committed to fighting the battles still to be won
against those profiting from illegal narcotics in the Granite State."
This
matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Nashua
Police Department. The case is being
prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Georgiana Konesky and Anna Krasinski.
This case
was supported by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The OCDETF program is a federal multi-agency,
multi-jurisdictional task force that supplies supplemental federal funding to
federal and state agencies involved in the identification, investigation, and
prosecution of major drug trafficking organizations.
