A Tilton man has pleaded guilty to federal drug and firearms charges.
Jared Stottlar, 43, of Tilton, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Concord to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possessing a firearm in connection with a drug trafficking offense.
Stottlar’s plea on Thursday was noticed by U.S. Attorney Jane E. Young.
According to court documents and statements made in court, law enforcement obtained a search warrant to search Stottlar’s truck on Aug. 8, 2019, and found two firearms, $54,000, drug packaging materials, and more than 500 grams (1.1 pounds) of methamphetamine. A search of Stottlar’s bedroom also uncovered six additional firearms and more drug packaging materials.
Stottlar is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 6.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, with assistance from the Tilton, Franklin, and Sanbornton police departments. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexander S. Chen, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth R. Aframe.
