Former Milford Man Sentenced To 70 Months In Prison For Crack Cocaine Distribution

DEC 15--Worcester….Mark R. Trouville, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in New England and United States Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, announced today that U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton sentenced Charles R. ROY, age 43, formerly of Milford, Massachusetts to 5 years and 10 months in prison, to be followed by 6 years of supervised release, in connection with distributing crack cocaine. ROY pleaded guilty to the charge at a hearing earlier this year.

At the earlier plea hearing, the prosecutor told the Court that, had the case proceeded to trial, the evidence would have proven that ROY distributed crack cocaine on October 6 and October 7, 1999, in Milford.

The investigation was conducted by Special Agents of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Tri-County Drug Task Force, and the Milford Police Department.
