82-year-old indicted

By Ronica Shannon
Register News Writer

A Berea man will go to trial after being indicted Thursday for two drug trafficking charges involving Oxycontin and Lortabs.

Archie Anglin, 82, of 1721 KY 1016, faces two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and one count of third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance.

Anglin committed these crimes between April 1 and September 1 of this year, according to the indictment.

Some of Anglin’s original charges, including third-degree possession of a controlled substance and second-degree possession of a controlled substance, were dropped in Madison District Court.

“The (charges) were dropped because Mr. Anglin had valid prescriptions for the pills in question, the Xanax and the hydrocodone,” said attorney Michael Eubanks, who represented Anglin.

County attorney Marc Robbins said there was some indication that a similar matter had recently been prosecuted in another county.

The local charge of trafficking arose out of a case in Garrard County, Eubanks said, adding that the Garrard County charges also were dropped.

“He was charged with trafficking because a number of his pills were missing,” Eubanks said, claiming that the pills actually were stolen from Anglin.

“In fact, he filed a police report on the stolen pills and a guitar three days before he was arrested,” the lawyer said.

Anglin was charged with possession of a controlled substance after Berea Police Detective Lee Ann Roberts discovered what appeared to be 11 hydrocodone tablets and eight alprazolam pills, the generic form of Xanax, in an aspirin bottle when she served Anglin with a warrant Oct. 21 on the trafficking charge, the arrest report states.

If convicted on the first-degree trafficking charges, which are Class C felonies, Anglin could serve up to 10 years in prison for each count.

Third-degree trafficking in a controlled substance is a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable with up to a year in jail.
