David Wolvovsky, 31, will spend the first six months of hiss sentence in home confinement. U.S. District Judge Stefan R. Underhill in Bridgeport also ordered Wolvovsky to pay a fine of $2,000 and to perform 100 hours of community service.
In addition, he was ordered to forfeit $21,034 in cash that was seized at the time of his arrest.
On July 23, 2013, Wolvovsky was arrested after receiving a packaged machine that was ordered from China and delivered to his residency, according to court documents and statements made in court.
On that date, Wolvovsky told investigators that he purchased the machine through an individual he had met on the Internet, and that he had also purchased what he had believed to be a large quantity of oxycodone powder from the same individual. Wolvosky then stated that, before the machine had arrived, he had tested the powder and determined that it was not oxycodone.
A search of Wolvovsky’s residence turned up a package containing 1 kilogram of the fake oxycodone powder. Investigators also discovered opiate test kits and packaging materials as well as tablet dying and imprinting machinery.
On July 24, 2014, Wolvovsky waived his right to indictment and pleaded guilty to one count of unlawfully importing a tablet-making machine.
