CONCORD - A Boston man was sentenced Tuesday in federal court for possession with intent to distribute controlled substances in New Hampshire.

Anthony Govan, 30, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante to 24 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release, according to a statement sent from the U.S. Attorneys Office.

"The defendant trafficked lethal narcotics to the Granite State," U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young noted. "His sentence serves as a warning that trafficking, any amount of fentanyl and crack cocaine to New Hampshire, will have consequences."

According to Court documents and statements made in Court, Govan's charges stem from a 2019 traffic-stop along I-95 in Portsmouth. Govan, a passenger in the vehicle, was found to be in possession of distribution quantities of fentanyl and crack cocaine. He has been in state custody in Massachusetts on unrelated charges since August 2021.
