Forty-seven year old Timothy Wayne Hall of Floyd County was recently sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to leading a prescription drug ring which began in 2001 and continued until 2007. Hall admitted he organized, led and directed at least five people to obtain Methadone pills from a Pennsylvania doctor and OxyCodone pills from drug dealers in Michigan, which were then brought to Floyd County for distribution. He confessed that, during a two year period, he and others moved more than 50,000 Methadone and 150,000 OxyCodone pills. As part of the sentencing agreement, Hall forfeited approximately $30,000 and several tracts of land.
