Dover man sentenced to six years for trafficking fentanyl

CONCORD - A Dover man was sentenced Thursday to six years in federal prison for possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, the U.S. Attorneys Office has announced Thursday.

According to court documents and statements made in court, on June 11, 2020, a Dover police officer observed 40-year-old Dylan Greene conduct what appeared to be a drug transaction between two buildings in Dover. Greene was subsequently stopped for a traffic violation during which the officer learned Greene had a warrant for theft. He was arrested and searched and found to have 20 grams of fentanyl in his possession.

Then on Sept. 15, 2020, law enforcement officers received information that Greene would be traveling from Hampton to Dover transporting drugs. After observing Greene and another male interact in Hampton and then depart in a truck, officers made a traffic stop. A later search of the truck pursuant to a search warrant yielded around 361 grams of fentanyl, $2,190 in cash, and various items indicative of drug trafficking, including drug ledgers.

"Despite fentanyl's deadly impact in our state, heartless drug dealers continue to sell this dangerous drug in our communities," said U.S. Attorney John J. Farley. "Drug traffickers who choose to do business in New Hampshire should understand that there will be significant penalties for their unlawful conduct. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to protect public safety by holding drug dealers responsible for their crimes."

"Dylan Greene will now spend the next six years behind bars after being caught red-handed trafficking fentanyl, furthering the scourge of opioids in our communities, for his own personal profit," said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division. "This case is a testament to the strength of our law enforcement partnerships in New Hampshire and illustrates how there really is no such thing as a routine traffic stop."
