Broward County Man Convicted for Trafficking Oxycodone

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that a Broward County man was convicted for trafficking Oxycodone and conspiring to traffic Oxycodone. Timmy Roel Bewry faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years in prison when he is sentenced at a later date. He was prosecuted by the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution.

Bewry, 28, was arrested in October 2008 after the Temple Terrace Police Department and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office conducted a controlled buy between Bewry, co-defendant Michy Jean Pierre, and a confidential informant. Bewry and Pierre drove from the Miami area to Ft. Myers in order to sell 400 prescription pills of Oxycodone and nearly 200 prescription pills of Alprazolam to the informant. The investigators arrested the defendants during the transaction.

Bewry was convicted of trafficking in Oxycodone, 28 grams or more, conspiracy to traffic in Oxycodone, 28 grams or more, and possession of Alprazolam with the intent to sell or deliver. A Lee County jury returned the guilty verdict this afternoon. The charges against Pierre are still pending.
