Michigan Man Charged for Possessing 900 Oxycodone Pills in Ohio
A federal grand jury has returned a one-count indictment charging James E. Wilson, age 42, of Rochester, Michigan, with possession with the intent to distribute approximately 900 pills of Oxycodone.
The indictment alleges that Wilson was arrested on December 9, 2013, by the Stark Metro Drug Task Force during the execution of a search warrant at Wilson’s hotel room. The search warrant yielded approximately 900 pills of Oxycodone which Wilson had brought to Ohio for sale, according to the indictment.
The indictment resulted from an investigation conducted by the DEA assisted by the Stark Metro Drug Task Force, Jackson Township Police Department, Canton Police Department, Stark County Sheriff’s Office, and the Summit County Sheriff’s Office Drug Unit. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Teresa Dirksen.

In terms of the potential sentence, it will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to this case, including his prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offenses, and the unique characteristics of the violations. The sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum, and in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
