Multi-State Oxycodone Scheme: 6 Indicted

Six people have been charged with federal crimes in Boston for allegedly taking part in a drug distribution network that distributed oxycodone tablets across Southeast Massachusetts and beyond. The defendants, who were detained on July 12, 2023, were accused of conspiring to distribute prohibited narcotics and of having oxycodone tablets in their possession with the purpose to resell them.

Unveiling a Web of Oxycodone: Collaborative Enforcement for Safer Communities

Following information on the suspected distribution of oxycodone tablets by John Campbell, inquiries were opened. Communications that were intercepted allegedly showed distribution patterns involving Atwood and Lambert. During a traffic stop in Bourne, oxycodone tablets were found in Lambert’s car, concealed inside a Krazy Glue bottle. Russell is also charged with stealing medicines from Houston pharmacies and trafficking them in the Boston vicinity. He allegedly traveled to see Veiga, who then gave to Gonsalves, according to flight records.

Potential punishments for the crimes include a $1 million fine, a lifetime of supervised release, and up to 20 years in jail. The drug forfeiture charge in the indictment targets a number of different goods. Investigators from many agencies participated in the inquiry. The OCDETF concept includes this operation.

The accusations included in the charge sheet are just that – allegations – and the defendants are innocent until and until found guilty in court.

This case demonstrates how committed law enforcement is to preventing drug-related crimes and defending communities. In order to protect justice and ensure public safety, several agencies, such as the DEA, US Postal Inspection Service, and local law enforcement, must work together. Such well-coordinated efforts considerably lessen the effects of drug trafficking and advance a safer society.
