DEDHAM
The trial of a Stoughton District Court officer accused of selling prescription drugs to an undercover state trooper was scheduled to begin today in Norfolk Superior Court.
Keely Johnson, 32, of Stoughton is charged with trafficking in oxycodone more than 14 grams and distribution of oxycodone. The charges stem from an investigation conducted in 2006.
Jury selection was completed Monday and opening statements were expected to be heard today. Judge Kenneth Fishman is presiding.
Johnson was arrested on Aug. 3, 2006, after allegedly selling 20 Percocet pills to the trooper. The transaction allegedly followed an earlier sale of 50 Percocet pills to the same trooper.
A Canton man, Joseph Iantosca, 52, was arrested for allegedly supplying the pills to Johnson.
Johnson is also charged with violation of drug laws within 1,000 feet of a school and conspiracy to violate the federal Controlled Substances Act.
An investigation began when authorities received information that Johnson was selling prescription drugs at the Stoughton courthouse.
