Franklin Man Pleads Guilty to Trafficking Meth

CONCORD, N.H. - A Franklin man recently pleaded guilty to trafficking meth while in the possession of seven guns, according to United States Attorney Scott W. Murray.

Brian Sanborn, 53, of Franklin, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to methamphetamine trafficking on Tuesday. The charges stem from a Dec. 8, 2017 incident in which New Hampshire State Police executed search warrants at Sanborn’s residence in Franklin and located approximately 17 grams of nearly pure methamphetamine in the basement of the house.

On the same day Sanborn, who previously had been convicted of felonies, possessed seven firearms, including four revolvers, two shotguns, and an SKS rifle.

Sanborn will be sentenced on September 4, 2018.

“Methamphetamine trafficking continues to pose a serious threat to the health of our citizens and the safety of our community,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to stop the distribution of this dangerous drug and to protect our neighborhoods. I want to thank the law enforcement officers whose work shut down and disarmed this drug trafficker.”
