U.S. District Judge Judith Levy sentenced Lawrence Mark Sherman, 75, to 12 years in federal prison Thursday after a jury found him guilty of 20 charges in December, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of Michigan and federal court records. Prosecutors said Sherman illegally distributed more than 270,000 opioid pills worth more than $6.3 million.
In the release, the pills included three of the most addictive prescription opioids, including Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, and Percocet, which also have a high street value. The charges stemmed from Sherman's involvement in the operation of Tranquility Wellness Center Inc., from the spring of 2020 through June 2021, where he worked part-time.
