A Rochester man has been sentenced to four years in federal prison for conspiring to distribute fentanyl and crack cocaine, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan.
Trevor Mackenzie, 34, received a sentence of 48 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. He pleaded guilty in May 2025 to a single-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, specifically fentanyl and cocaine.
“Fentanyl and crack cocaine bring misery to our state,” said U.S. Attorney Creegan. “This sentence demonstrates that we are committed to interdicting the supply of these harmful drugs.”
Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New England commented on the case, stating: “Fentanyl is an incredibly dangerous drug that destroy lives and tears communities apart. HSI continues to work alongside our state and local partners to disrupt the distribution networks that bring these drugs to our streets.”
Court documents indicate that Mackenzie conspired with a drug trafficking organization led by codefendant Michael Martinez. Investigators used vehicle tracker data which showed frequent visits by Martinez’s couriers to Mackenzie’s residence. Toll analysis revealed at least 354 contacts between Mackenzie and a phone registered to Martinez over a three-month period in 2024. Financial records indicated that Mackenzie sent $4,900 via CashApp to Martinez during the spring and summer of 2024. Additionally, messages found through a search warrant on Martinez’s TextNow account documented discussions about narcotics transactions between the two men.
Authorities executed a search warrant at Mackenzie’s home on October 16, 2024, where they arrested him on a federal warrant. Inside the residence, investigators discovered scales, baking soda, plates with residue—items commonly associated with drug distribution—in addition to approximately 269 grams of fentanyl and about 164 grams of powder cocaine packaged for distribution.
The investigation was led by Homeland Security Investigations with assistance from the Strafford County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mike Shannon and Yasir Sadat prosecuted the case.
