Salem man gets five years in fedeal pen for trafficking meth, cocaine

CONCORD - A Salem man was sentenced today in federal court for drug trafficking.

Todd Mobley, 41, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante to five years in federal prison and three years of supervised release, according to a release from the U.S. Attorneys Office.

On April 15 Mobley pleaded guilty to four counts of distribution of controlled substances, namely methamphetamine, and two counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and cocaine.

"Today's sentence holds the defendant accountable for trafficking dangerous narcotics in our state and puts an end to his drug dealing activities," said U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young. "We remain committed to working with our federal, state, and county law enforcement partners to stem the sale of illegal narcotics in our communities."

Between May 22 and June 26 in 2023 Mobley sold a total of more than 534 grams of methamphetamine on four occasions. On July 10, 2023, he was arrested en route to another sale. On July 11, 2023, law enforcement executed a search warrant and recovered more than 890 grams of methamphetamine in the defendant's vehicle and 84 grams of cocaine in the defendant's storage unit.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Strafford County Sheriff's Office led the investigation.
