Newtown Township police officer Dan Bartle took the stand Tuesday and testfied that a informant under his watch purchased Oxycodone pills from both men.

One of the controlled buys took place on Blue Ridge Drive in Levittown and the others outside a Bristol Township car wash, according to court papers.

Goodbred is accused of showing up a few minutes into a drug buy in July  and providing French with 20 Oxycodone pills in exchange for several hundred dollars the informant had just paid, court papers say.
