CONCORD, NH — A Concord man will be sentenced in June on drug and gun charges after pleading guilty to felon counts in U.S. District Court on Friday. Tyler Cady, 30, of Concord pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess controlled substances with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in furtherance of that conspiracy, according to U.S. Attorney Scott Murray. Cady was involved in a drug deal with a cooperating informant on March 4, 2020, in Dover. According to court testimony and documents, the informant arranged a meth deal with Cady and another person. Law enforcement agents saw Cady with more than 111 grams of 100 percent pure methamphetamine on his lap during the deal. He was also in possession of 7 grams of fentanyl. Later, agents searched his vehicle and found another 252 grams of "highly pure" meth as well as a sawed-off shotgun, a pistol, a scale, and a money counter. Cady was also in possession of more than $8,000 in cash, between himself and his vehicle. As part of his plea agreement, Cady forfeited the cash, firearms, and ammo. "Drug trafficking and firearms are a potentially deadly combination," Murray said. "The extreme danger posed by deadly drugs like methamphetamine is only heightened when the drug dealers are armed with guns. In order to protect public health and safety, we aggressively investigate and prosecute the armed drug traffickers who endanger the citizens of the Granite State." The DEA, the BATF, New Hampshire State Police, and Colebrook Police Department all participated in the investigation. Got a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
