A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to ten years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan.

Christopher Davis, 54, of Haverhill, Massachusetts, received a sentence of 120 months imprisonment and four years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge Steven McAuliffe. Davis pleaded guilty in October 2025 to one count of distribution of a controlled substance after selling methamphetamine during a controlled purchase. This marks his third felony conviction related to drug distribution in the Lakes Region.

“The defendant has persistently and brazenly distributed drugs throughout the Lakes Region across multiple decades,” said U.S. Attorney Creegan. “We will continue to pursue individuals and organizations who profit from the trafficking of methamphetamine and other dangerous substances in our state.”

“Christopher Davis is a repeat offender, committed to selling methamphetamine and making money,” said Ted E. Docks, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Boston Division. “Today’s sentence shows how the FBI’s Major Offender Task Force is just as committed to getting illegal drugs and the career criminals who peddle them off the streets. We’re working hard every day to make the Granite state safer by removing those who have no regard for the incredible damage they’re inflicting on people’s lives.”

The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Major Offender Task Force with assistance from the Laconia Police Department, New Hampshire State Police, and New Hampshire Attorney General’s Drug Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Vicinanzo prosecuted the case.

This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative by the Department of Justice aimed at combating illegal immigration, dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protecting communities from violent crime.
