A Farmington man was sentenced to five years in federal prison for illegally selling Oxycodone pills, officials said.
Anthony Harris, 53, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer in New Haven to 60 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Harris was found guilty of four counts of possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of, oxycodone, and not guilty of one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and to distribute, oxycodone on Nov. 9, 2022.
Harris, who was prescribed oxycodone for a medical condition, sold hundreds of oxycodone pills to another person every three weeks over the course of more than three years, according to court records. The person who purchased the pills then reportedly sold them to customers in the Bristol area.
Harris sold a total of about 9,000 oxycodone pills in exchange for approximately $200,000, court records said.
Harris was arrested on June 3, 2021. He has been detained since Nov. 17, 2022, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
