Bensalem Male Sold Counterfeit Opioid Pills Online
Robert Davis, 36,of Bensalem Pa entered a guilty plea in federal court to charges that he made fake opioid pills and then sold them online.
Davis was charged in a superseding indictment on May 9, 2023, with selling counterfeit opioid pills through his website, rcproppill, advertising the fake pills for use as props in films or music videos, from in or about 2015 through August 2019. The counterfeits contained no controlled substances, but mimicked the trademarks of certain opioid pills.
The defendant made fake pills with the unique drug markings and trademarks of various frequently-abused opioid pills, such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. The defendant’s buyers made regular and repeat buys, consistent with using the counterfeits in drug dealing rather than in films or videos.
Davis plead guilty to trafficking in counterfeit goods. He will be sentenced on December 20,2024.
