Ronnie Stocks, Oxycodone Distribution, Maryland 2011

A Harford County man has been sentenced to over 10 years in prison for his role in a large-scale oxycodone distribution ring.

Ronnie Stocks, 34, of Bel Air, Maryland, was sentenced to 126 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute oxycodone, according to a statement from the office of United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein.

According to Stocks’ guilty plea, in 2010 and 2011, Stocks was obtaining oxycodone from approximately 12 sources and was distributing those pills, in amounts no less than $100 at a time, to about 36 individuals.

During an investigation by the Harford County Drug Task Force, several of Stocks’ customers provided information about the number and frequency of purchases of oxycodone made from Stocks, where those purchases occurred and how many pills would be purchased at one time.

A wiretap of Stocks’ cell phone in early 2011 captured Stocks conducting dozens of drug transactions. In April 2011, law enforcement also learned that Stocks sold a firearm.

On April 14, 2011, Stocks was arrested and his home and vehicle were searched, recovering over 40 oxycodone pills.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the FBI, Harford County Sheriff’s Office, Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office and all the members of the Harford County Narcotics Task Force for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Mushtaq Gunja, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.
