CONWAY - A Conway man has been sentenced on one count of Sale of a Controlled Drug; Death Resulting.

Cory Sellers, 41, of Conway, pleaded guilty on Friday and was sentenced to 7 ½ to 15 years in the New Hampshire State Prison, with two years of the minimum sentence suspended upon completion of certain programming while incarcerated.

The evidence in this case established that on October 17, 2023, the defendant purchased a quantity of fentanyl from another individual, James Gray, and then provided some of that fentanyl to the victim, which ultimately caused the victim's death. Gray previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced on March 19.

The investigation and resolution of this case was the result of collaborative efforts of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, the Conway Police Department, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Drug Task Force.
