A Florida
man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for mailing about
17,000 oxycodone pills to West
Virginia
Between October 2010 and April
2012, federal prosecutors said Ryan D. Moore, 32, of Hillsborough
County , Fla. , mailed packages of
30-milligram oxycodone tablets to people in the Mountain State
In all, Moore
sent more than 100 packages of oxycodone from U.S.
post offices near Tampa , Fla.
to a post office box in Glen Fork in Wyoming
County along with a location in Calvin
in Nicholas County
In exchange for the drugs, at least
$330,000 in cash was deposited into Moore
“When tens of thousands of
painkillers are illegally mailed in just over a year’s time, it says something
about the extent of this district’s pill problem,” said U.S. Attorney Booth
Goodwin.
“My office’s commitment to
prosecutor pill dealers will continue.”
Three residents in Glen Fork and Calvin have
already been sentenced for their roles in the scheme.
