ROCHESTER - A Rochester woman is facing up to 60 years in state prison after being indicted on fentanyl trafficking charges.
Megan Brown, 39, of 6 Royal Crest, is accused of two counts of sale of a controlled drug in connection with her February 2020 Somersworth arrest.
According to charging documents, Brown "did knowingly and unlawfully sell a quantity of five grams or more of a substance which she represented to be the Schedule II controlled drug, fentanyl."

Each of the two charges are punishable by up to 30 years in state prison and a $500,000 fine.
The August Strafford County indictments were handed down on Aug. 17 and released to the public on Friday.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, rather that enough evidence has been presented to warrant moving forward to trial.
