R.I. man gets probation for Boston drug sales

BOSTON, Mass. -- A Rhode Island man who illegally sold prescription drugs in and around the federal building where he worked has been sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty.

Prosecutors say 45-year-old Anthony Carroll of Warwick, Rhode Island, sold oxycodone and morphine in and around the JFK Federal Building in Boston from October 2005 to February 2006.

He worked for the federal Office of Veterans Affairs at the time.

Carroll faced a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, but received three years of probation with the first six months to be served in electronically-monitored home confinement.

A co-defendant pleaded guilty last year.
