Oakwood residents charged in drug and gun case
Oakwood residents William Cordill and Karen Cox were charged with conspiracy to distribute OxyContin and firearms violations after a May 17 federal raid in Abingdon. Authorities seized $35,000 cash, 80 80-milligram OxyContin tablets, several firearms, and about half a pound of marijuana. Cox denied by court, ordered a mental evaluation to determine trial competence. The investigation involved ATF, DEA, Virginia State Police, and multiple local sheriff offices. Cordill allegedly sold over 10,000 OxyContin pills from August 2001 to March, netting about $200,000. The case ties to a broader Western Virginia narcotics and firearms probe.
