4. Newspaper: Gettysburg Times, 21 Mar 1990, Gettysburg, Adams, PA. ⁴ Parole denied to drug offender
Kevin Beecher of Gettysburg will have to wait another month before he can be considered eligible for parole on his illegal drugs conviction, it was decided Tuesday.
Beecher, 26, formerly of a Chambersburg street address, was sentenced by President Judge Oscar F. Spicer on Nov. 21 of last year to serve from four to 23 months in the Adams County Prison.
He was found guilty Oct. 25 of violating Act 64, Pennsylvania's Controlled Substances Act.
Beecher's entanglement with Pennsylvania's drug laws began on August 10, 1988, when a man he knew casually approache dhim in the bar of a local deli and asked if he knew where he could buy some crack, the powerful cocaine derivative.
According to testimony, Beecher said that he could proivde "Keith" with some crack and introduced him to his companion, known only as Duncan.
Unfortunately for Beecher, "Keith" was actually an undercover name for Gregory A. Stone, an 18-year state police veteran and a member of the Region III Strike Force, assigned to drug enforcement since March of 1983.
Kevin Beecher was arrested on Dec. 8, 1988.
Ironically, police have been unable to capture "Duncan," who actually performed the crack sale, for which Kevin Beecher received a $10 tip.
According to a member of his family, Beecher's involvement in a fight recently gave rise to his failure to qualify for parole. The scrap supposedly arose when a man from whom Beecher had won a pair of running shoes in a gambling game refused to give them up.
