OSSIPEE — A Tamworth man was sentenced on Oct. 4 to serve 4 years in state prison for possession of a drug used to tranquilize large animals such as elephants. He was also sentenced on an older charge of possession of heroin.
Eliot Steele, 33, formerly of Tamworth, was sentenced last Friday in Carroll County Superior Court to 1 1/2 to 3 years in the New Hampshire State Prison for possessing carfentanil. He had been convicted of possessing carfentanil, subsequent offense, on July 31, following a jury trial.
