DOVER - A Rochester man began a four- to eight-year stint at a New Hampshire State Prison on Monday after pleading guilty in Strafford Superior Court to dispensing a deadly dose of drugs to a Rochester man in 2020.
Tyler J. Harvey, 29, formerly of Norway Plains Road, was indicted last August on a single charge of Acts Prohibited-Death Resulting, a special felony that can carry up to a life sentence.
Harvey pleaded guilty to giving the victim, Nathan Sweeney, 26, of Rochester, a quantity of either meth or fentanyl or both in Rochester on May 6, 2020, leading to his death.
