LACONIA — A 28-year-old Allenstown man was free on $10,000 cash bail last night after he was arrested Wednesday in possession of what police have identified as 202 oxycodone hydrochloride pills. John Kelekci is due to be arraigned in Laconia District Court this morning on charges of possession of narcotic drugs with intent to distribute.
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid typically prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.
According to a police report, Officer Adam Marsh was in the parking lot at Walgreen's drug store in the downtown area at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night when he approached Kelekci, who was sitting in his vehicle. Marsh observed a bag of pills and an open bottle of alcohol.
The report indicates Kelekci was taken into police custody at that point and a search warrant was obtained for his vehicle. The search, assisted by K-9 Agbar, is said to have turned up the 202 pills and a digital scale. Another substance was sent to the State Police laboratory for analysis.
Kelekci was taken to Belknap County Jail but was soon released on bail.
