Dallas man, woman get prison time for 'pill mill' that used homeless to get oxycodone
Two Dallas residents will serve prison time for their roles in a prescription drug-peddling conspiracy.
Taneisha Nickerson, 29, was sentenced last week to two years behind bars, and Adrian Banks, 23, received a 20-month sentence, according to the U.S. attorney's office in Dallas.
Each of them pleaded guilty in August to one count of unlawful use of a communication device because they used their phones to coordinate deliveries of the pain killer oxycodone.
