New York Man Convicted of Oxycodone and Oxymorphone Conspiracy
Damian Corbett, 40, of New Rochelle, New York, has been found guilty of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone and oxymorphone following a two-day jury trial in U.S. District Court.
According to court records, federal agents and task force officers seized approximately 1,000 oxycodone and oxymorphone pills at the home of a North Berwick, Maine resident on December 16, 2014. Investigators learned that Corbett had been supplying those pills to the resident since at least June 2013, who in turn distributed them in southern Maine.
Corbett was arrested on December 19, 2014, shortly after he met with the resident and agents seized about $2,500 that he had just been paid for a delivery.
Corbett faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1,000,000 fine. He will be sentenced after the completion of a presentence investigation report by the U.S. Probation office.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Portsmouth Tactical Diversion Squad, North Berwick Police Department, Maine State Police, and York County Sheriff’s Office.
Contact Assistant United States Attorney Daniel J. Perry at (207) 780-3257 for further information.
