CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire man was sentenced 7 1/2 years in federal prison for participating in a fentanyl trafficking conspiracy, the U.S. attorney’s office said Monday.

Court documents said an investigation showed that Derek Rand, 31, of Rochester, used runners to obtain fentanyl in Massachusetts and bring it to New Hampshire for distribution. Over a kilogram of fentanyl was seized from members of the drug-trafficking organization.

Rand previously pleaded guilty on Aug. 29.
