Tinton Falls resident indicted for illegal distribution of Oxycodone

From :

"A local anesthesiologist who lives in Tinton Falls was indicted Monday for various crimes relating to the illicit distribution of the prescription pain medication Oxycodone, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter E. Warshaw, Jr. in a release.

Barry K. Ray, Jr., M.D., 36, of Autumn Drive was arrested on Aug. 27, 2010 following a criminal investigation by the prosecutor’s office that focused on the illegal distribution of Oxycodone by Ray, a cardiac anesthesiologist at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune Twp. The investigation included the use of an undercover detective from the prosecutor’s office who met with Ray three times at restaurants in Tinton Falls to exchange the pain medication for a fee.

Ray and the undercover detective agreed that the defendant would receive a fee based upon the number of pills sold by the undercover detective for the medication classified as a Schedule II Controlled Dangerous Substance under state law. In total, Ray received in excess of $1,000, according to the release. The prosecutor’s office worked in conjunction with the Neptune Township Police Department on the investigation that began last May.

During a lawful search of Ray’s Autumn Drive residence, a small quantity of cocaine was seized along with hollow point bullets, which are prohibited in the state, according to the release."
