SALEM – A man who admitted shipping OxyCodone from Florida to a friend in Peabody as a means of supplementing his Social Security check will spend 30 months in the House of Corrections and lose his driving privileges in Massachusetts for five years.Barry M. Elfman, 60, formerly of Tequesta, Fla., was allowed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of possession with the intent to distribute OxyCodone Thursday morning in Salem Superior Court.Judge John T. Lu found him guilty and sentenced Elfman, a former auto body manager, to the agreed recommendation proposed by Assistant District Attorney Greg A. Friedholm and defense lawyer Richard Clayman.The confession to the reduced charge spared Elfman a minimum mandatory seven-year state prison term.Friedholm said in late 2006 a postal inspector took notice that 15 suspicious packages were being sent from Florida to Peabody. The service began tracking the packages sent by Elfman to Lawrence Parente, 54, at his home at 3 Arnold Ave. in Peabody and place of business, Larry’s Auto Sales, also in Peabody.On July 18, 2008, authorities intercepted a package and determined illegal drugs were inside.The package was delivered to Parente’s home on Arnold Avenue. Parente signed for the package and authorities moved in and arrested him.A total of 150 tablets at 30 milligrams each, containing a total of 19.11 grams, were found inside, according to Friedholm.When police contacted Elfman in Florida, he admitted sending the packages of OxyCodone, which were legal prescriptions, as a favor and as a supplement to his Social Security check, said FriedholmFriedholm told Lu that the charge concession was the result of “extensive negotiations” between the parties.In asking the judge to accept the disposition, Clayman said he felt it was “fair and reasonable” and that his client is now “sober and clean.”Because it is a jail sentence rather that a state prison term of incarceration, Elfman will serve about one-half of the 30 months behind bars.The case against Parente remains open. He currently remains free on bail and is due back in court on Nov. 8.
