DOVER - A Rochester man has been indicted in the alleged running of a drug house on Winter Street in Rochester.
Gerald Landry, 57, of 17 Winter St., #4, was formerly charged by a Strafford County grand jury on one felony count of being a common nuisance, in that he did "knowingly maintain" his apartment, "which is resorted to by drug-dependent persons for the purpose of using controlled drugs.
A conviction on common nuisances - a Class B felony - is punishable by three and a half to seven years in state prison.
The Strafford County grand jury indictments for October were signed on Oct. 17 and released last week.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt, only that enough evidence has been gathered to warrant a trial.
