The charges included possession of four different illegal drugs PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A Tigard man was sentenced to six years in federal prison on Wednesday on multiple charges related to drug trafficking in the Portland area, according to the U.S. Attorney District of Oregon's Office. In March 2021, 35-year-old Cole Richard Killion was discovered to be involved in the distribution of counterfeit oxycodone pills by special agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), officials said. After discovering that Killion received at least $56,000 through cash deposits and electronic fund transfers in the span of two months, an amount that did not line up with his employment status, authorities said agents obtained a search warrant for the Tigard residence in which Killion was living with his parents.
