On the same day, a second related indictment charged the following individuals with
conspiring to distribute heroin:
FNU LNU a/k/a Tony, a/k/a Edward Garcia, a/k/a Eric Guerrero, 30, of Lawrence, Mass.,
also has been charged in a separate indictment with two counts of distribution of fentanyl and one
count of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl.
Between October 12, 2016 and October 25, 2016, almost all of the above individuals have
been arrested or were already in custody on other charges. Heibrahim DelValle Baez and Santos
Guerrero Morillo remain fugitives.
Solving the opiate epidemic in New England requires a multi-pronged approach. Part of
that solution is to prosecute individuals who are responsible for distributing heroin and who profit
on the addiction of others. The U.S. Attorneys Office will continue to work with our law
enforcement partners to identify and prosecute individuals who are responsible for the distribution
of heroin, fentanyl, and other opiates. This case is an example of the tremendous partnership among
law enforcement agencies. I commend all of the agencies involved in this case for their teamwork
and dedication in this investigation, U.S. Attorney Rice said.
"DEA is addressing the threat of heroin and fentanyl, both internationally and domestically.
We prioritize our resources by identifying, targeting and destroying these extremely violent and
very organized cartels, said Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Ferguson. DEA and its law
enforcement partners have effectively dismantled the distribution and facilitation elements of this
organization that are responsible for putting this poison on the streets of New Hampshire as well as
throughout New England. DEA will aggressively pursue organizations or individuals who facilitate
heroin and fentanyl by allowing out of state dealers to utilize their residences and provide customers
to the dealers in order to profit and destroy peoples lives, and wreak havoc in the Granite State.
The indictments are allegations. The defendants are presumed to be innocent unless and
until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
This investigation was the product of an investigation by the Organized Crime Drug
Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF). The OCDETF program is a federal multi-agency, multijurisdictional task force that supplies supplemental federal funding to federal and state agencies
involved in the identification, investigation, and prosecution of major drug trafficking
organizations.
The case was investigated by the DEA; Homeland Security Investigations; the
Massachusetts State Police; the Haverhill Police Department; the United States Marshals Service;
the New Hampshire State Police; the Manchester Police Department; the Lawrence Police
Department; the Lowell Police Department, the Methuen Police Department, and the Hillsborough
County Drug Task Force. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys
Georgiana L. Konesky and Donald Feith.
