Brooklyn Judge scolds pill peddler for contributing to opioid crisis, gets eight years
A Brooklyn Judge sentenced a 65-year-old army veteran to eight years in prison Wednesday and railed on him for contributing to the opioid crisis by selling thousands of oxycodone pills and forging over a hundred prescription pads.
“You were buying…literally thousands, thousands of oxycodone pills and selling them for substantial amounts of money,” Judge Leo Glasser said down to Doraymus Robinson in Brooklyn Federal Court. “Those pills are more serious than cocaine and heroin.”
Robinson, with at least seven prior arrests, paired with his ex-wife, Carolyn Richardson, to peddle thousands of oxycodone, methadone and Xanax pills obtained by phony prescription pads filled at numerous pharmacies in New Jersey between Jan. 1, 2015 and July 30, 2016.
