Pills Intercepted During Mail Delivery


HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- A man is facing charges after deputies intercepted his mail, which included a package of hundreds of pills.

According to the criminal complaint, the US Postal Inspector got a search warrant on a package that was going to Brandon Lee Madden's home in the 5400 block of West Pea Ridge Road.

Inside the package, they found more than 300 oxycodone pills, according to the complaint.

They made a controlled delivery of the package to Madden's home. When the package was accepted, they took Madden, 33, into custody.

Deputies say Madden did not have a prescription for the pills. He is charged with possession with intent to deliver.


Madden was released from the Western Regional Jail after posting bond.
