William Leslie Toler, Oxymorphone Distribution, West Virginia 2014

Charleston, W.Va. – A Logan County man has been convicted of distributing a highly addictive prescription painkiller.

William Leslie Toler, 29, of Logan, West Virginia, pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of oxymorphone, commonly known as Opana. The drug, which is often abused for its pain-relieving and euphoric effects, is a Schedule II controlled substance.

According to court documents, on April 10, 2014, Toler sold a 40 mg Opana pill to a confidential informant working with law enforcement for $65.00. The drug sale took place at a residence in Chapmanville, West Virginia.

Toler faces up to 20 years imprisonment when he is sentenced on January 6, 2016. The exact amount of prison time he will receive has not yet been determined.

This case was investigated by the US 119 Drug Task Force, Logan County Sheriff’s Department, WVSP-BCI-Charleston, Chapmanville Police Department, DEA-Charleston Office, IRS Criminal Investigation-Charleston Office, and WVSP Logan Detachment.

This case is being prosecuted as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia to combat the illicit sale and misuse of prescription drugs and heroin.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office, joined by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down illegal pill trafficking, eliminating open air drug markets, and curtailing the spread of opiate painkillers and heroin in communities across the Southern District.
