Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael J. Adler, who is handling the case, stated that between December 2013 and April 2015, co-defendant Brandon Coburn, a licensed nurse practitioner who is legally authorized to prescribe controlled substances, provided fraudulent Fentanyl prescriptions to Williams and nine other co-defendants. Those prescriptions, however, were not used for a legitimate medical purposes and instead were filled by Williams and others and sold on the street in the Buffalo area. Willaims filled a total of 28 prescriptions including oxycodone, oxymorphone and fentanyl.
Williams is the second of the 11 defendants charged in this investigation to be convicted. The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 24.
