Rockland Indicts Inmate Who Sold Oxycodone He Hid in His Rectum

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe announced today an indictment of Bryan Lora, the Rockland County Jail inmate who was selling oxycodone to other inmates and hiding them from officers in his rectum.

This indictment is not for that.

Zugibe said Lora, a New City resident, was indicted on March 13 by a Rockland County Grand Jury for the crimes of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the 3rd and 4th Degrees—in connection with a drug bust in September 2014.

March 13 was the same day Lora appeared in Clarkstown town court to face a batch of charges brought by the Rockland County Sheriff after corrections officers had found 50 oxycodone pills in Lora’s rectum during a search March 9. During their investigation, Lora told the corrections officers that he had been selling the pills to other inmates.

The March 13 charges brought by Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco were: Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance With Intent To Sell – 5th degree (Felony); Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance – 7th degree (Misdemeanor); Promoting Prison Contraband – 2nd degree (Misdemeanor).

The March 13 indictment states that Lora had been arrested in Clarkstown on Sept. 23, 2014, for possession of one eighth of an ounce of oxycodone and 41 small packets of heroin.

Lora had been arrested also in February 2015 following an earlier crackdown. A search of his home in New City at that time had revealed more than 400 oxycodone pills, over 90 wax paper bags of heroin and over $10,000 in cash, authorities said.
