Detroit Man Sentenced For Distributing Oxycodone
WEST VIRGINIA....
Justin Foster, 23, of Detroit, was sentenced Monday to 38 months in prison after he pleaded guilty in October 2010 to charges that he intended to help distribute Oxycodone through out-of-state drug deals. On July 21, 2010, West Virginia State Police executed a search warrant on a Knights Inn hotel room in Charleston and found 271 oxycodone 80-mg pills inside a pillowcase. Officers arrested the occupants in the room, including Foster, who had $170 in cash that had been used for a controlled purchase of Oxycodone earlier that day from another person who had been in the hotel room. Foster also admitted he was responsible for other Oxycodone distributions totaling at least 333 Oyxcodone 80-mg pills.
