Catonsville dentist charged with illegal drug distribution

A Catonsville dentist faces up to 20 years in prison after being charged with dealing Hydrocodone from his office and home.

Kenneth Brian Riley, 49, was charged Friday with distribution of the prescription painkiller, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court of Baltimore.

Riley, a dentist since 1989, had reportedly sold a police confidential source approximately 500 to 1,000 Hydrocodone tablets a week from his office and home since 2006, according to the affidavit.

On four occasions within the past two months, the police source purchased a total of 3,500 Hydrocodone tablets from Riley for a total of $4,550, the affidavit said.
