CONCORD, NH — A local woman involved in drug dealing in the capital region with a Boscawen man has pleaded guilty to charges in U.S. District Court, according to acting-U.S. Attorney John J. Farley. Jessica Lord , 36, previously of Manchester Street in Concord, pleaded guilty on Aug. 25, 2017, to drug distribution and conspiracy charges . According to an investigation, Lord sold Oxycodone pills on five separate occasions to an undercover Concord Police officer in June and July 2016.

"During the transactions, Lord stated that she got the pills from Patrick J. Brooks III of Boscawen," a press release noted. "On July 20, Lord was on her way to a sixth transaction with the undercover detective when Concord police officers stopped her car. At the time of the stop, Lord possessed more 30 mg Oxycodone pills."
