Man Pleads Guilty As Ringleader Of Pills Sold In Pike And Floyd Counties
Forty six year old Timothy Wayne Hall of Floyd County has pleaded guilty in federal court in London to heading a drug ring responsible for bringing in 200,000 pain pills from other states to be sold and abused in eastern Kentucky. Hall admitted to operating a continuing criminal enterprise from 2001 to the summer of 2007, while arranging for people to supply drugs to be sold in Floyd and Pike counties. Police say the drug ring was once thought to be the biggest illicit distributor of OxyContin and methadone in eastern Kentucky.
