FRANKLINTON—District Attorney Warren Montgomery reports that a Washington Parish jury found Henry James McMillan, 66, of Angie, guilty Thursday (April 20) of distribution of oxycodone during an undercover operation two years ago. He is scheduled to be sentenced May 8 by Pro Temp Judge Donald Fendlason.
McMillan was arrested after selling four Oxycontin pills at his home to a confidential informant for the Washington Parish Drug Task Force, which videotaped the transaction on July 29, 2015.
The informant also gave $10 to McMillan’s co-defendant, William Kennedy, for arranging the meeting.

He testified against McMillan at trial.
The jury reviewed the videotape of the narcotics transaction before returning a guilty verdict on April 20. McMillan faces up to 30 years on the distribution charge.
