Harrisburg Man Sentenced for 33 Months for Oxycodone Distribution

A Harrisburg man has been brought to justice for distributing Oxycodone, a highly addictive prescription painkiller.

Keith Hillard, 49, was sentenced to 33 months’ imprisonment for his role in the unlawful distribution of 100 tablets of Oxycodone, a Schedule II controlled substance.

Hillard’s sentencing took place on October 12, 2016, before United States District Court Judge Sylvia H. Rambo, who handed down the sentence.

United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler stated that Hillard pled guilty to the charges on August 21, 2015, following a thorough investigation by law enforcement agencies.

The case was investigated by the Harrisburg Resident Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Pennsylvania State Police, the Dauphin County Drug Task Force, and the Harrisburg Police Department.

Assistant United States Attorney William A. Behe prosecuted the case, bringing Hillard to justice for his role in the illicit distribution of Oxycodone.

The sentencing of Hillard serves as a reminder of the serious consequences that individuals face when engaging in prescription drug trafficking.

The distribution of controlled substances like Oxycodone poses a significant threat to public health and safety, and law enforcement agencies will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt and dismantle these operations.

Hillard’s case is a stark example of the devastating impact that prescription drug trafficking can have on individuals and communities.
