Joseph Mitchell Sr., a member of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, was sentenced Thursday to nine years in federal prison for his role in a prescription pill mill that trafficked about 700,000 oxycodone and other addictive opiate pills.
United States District Court Judge Nitza L. Quinones Alejandro also ordered Mitchell to serve three years supervised release and pay a special assessment of $100.
The court also entered a forfeiture judgment, but did not elaborate what property it would take from Mitchell.
On July 14, 2015, a Philadelphia grand jury charged Mitchell, along with William O'Brien, a former doctor of osteopathic medicine, and eight co-defendants with conspiring to distribute controlled substances.
Mitchell was a member of the Pagans, an outlaw biker gang known for violence and drug dealing, officials said.
Records show O'Brien worked with the Pagans and their associates to operate a "pill mill" out of his medical offices.
