Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella announces that Daren Innie, age 55, of Nashua, New Hampshire, has been sentenced by the Hillsborough County Superior Court-Southern District on one count of Armed Career Criminal, one count of Felon in Possession, and three counts of Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute.

The defendant was sentenced to serve 10 to 20 years in state prison on the Armed Career Criminal charge, 3 to 6 years on the Felon in Possession charge, and 5 to 10 years on two of the Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute charges. The sentences for the Felon in Possession charge and the two Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute charges will be served concurrently with each other, but consecutive to the Armed Career Criminal charge. On the final Possession of a Controlled Drug with Intent to Distribute charge, the defendant was sentenced to 10 to 20 years, all of which is suspended for a period of 10 years from his release from incarceration. These sentences result in an aggregate term of 15-30 years in state prison, with an additional sentence of 10-20 years suspended for a period of 10 years from the date of his release.

The evidence in this case established that in June of 2022, the defendant possessed a revolver and a blackjack, with prior qualifying convictions prohibiting him from possessing weapons, and that he possessed quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl with the intent to distribute those drugs. The amount of fentanyl seized as a result of this investigation amounted to approximately 625 grams, and the amount of methamphetamine seized was approximately 225 grams.

The investigation and resolution of this case was the result of collaborative efforts of the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office, the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Nashua Police Department.
