Federal authorities are accusing a Williamsburg body shop owner, his son and girlfriend of being part of a large prescription pill distribution ring, and the central figure in the case has allegedly admitted that a local law enforcement officer sometimes warned him when police planned to search his business or residence.
Jimmie Goley, his son Jimmy David Goley and his girlfriend Randalene Lay were indicted late last month in U.S. District Court in London on charges of conspiring to distribute oxycodone, and for actually selling it from a period from early Nov. 2009 until May 14, 2010.
All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges and are set for trial July 26. Jimmie Goley remains in jail pending trial. His son and Randalene Lay are currently on pre-trial release.
According to an affidavit by FBI Task Force Officer James G. Pace, filed May 17, Lay and the Goley’s were arrested as part of an "ongoing investigation" into the distribution of oxycodone pills.
Jimmie Goley is the owner and operator of Motor Mart – a used car lot located south of Williamsburg on U.S. 25W.
In his affidavit, Pace details a series of undercover drug purchases, orchestrated by police and made by "cooperating witnesses, starting Nov. 24, 2009. The witness told police that Goley usually sold 80mg OC pills for $100, 40mg for $50 and $30 for a 30mg pill. He supposedly kept the majority of his pills buried in the back yard of his residence, and hidden in used cars at his lot to keep them from being stolen.
During the investigation, authorities used the cooperating witness to buy 10 Oxycontin 80mg pills, eight 40mg pills, 102 30mg pills and 30 15mg pills from Goley, Jimmy David Goley and Lay. Each of the transactions was recorded using an audio recording device.
During conversations with the witness, Pace says Jimmie Goley and his son both claimed they had others make trips to Florida pain clinics for them in order to obtain the drugs. They would pay the expenses for the trips.
During transaction, Jimmie Goley allegedly told the witness he kept the money from drug sales in "fruit jars" in his backyard. During another, the witness saw Goley sell drugs to two other individuals.
In March, the witness and Jimmie Goley discuss how Goley has "been losing money sending people to pain clinics to obtain pills."
On April 28, the two discuss "public corruption in the Whitley County Sheriff’s Office and the upcoming election," according to the affidavit.
On May 11, during a drug transaction, Pace claims Jimmie Goley told the witness that he started to hide pills in various used cars at Motor Mart to hide them from police following the "execution of a state search warrant at Jimmie Goley’s residence by the Williamsburg Police Department in or about late October or early November 2009 …" He also said he hid the pills to keep his son from using them.
Additionally, Pace writes that Goley told the witness that he had received a tip from a law enforcement officer that police were going to search his residence.
The references to "public corruption" and the tip from law enforcement are all vague and give no details as to who was involved or what was said in the conversations.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert E. Weir ruled earlier this month that Jimmie Goley must stay in jail prior to trial because of the danger he poses to the community if released. He added that Goley has a history of criminal "recidivism" that factored into his decision.
If convicted, all three could face a term of imprisonment of up to 20 years, $1 million in fines and at least three years supervised release. If they have prior felony drug convictions, the sentences could run up to 30 years and a $2 million fine.
Authorities are also seeking the forfeiture of Goley’s residence and auto lot.
