Reidy was indicted by a grand jury and charged with counts of drug conspiracy and LSD distribution. In January 2001, Reidy entered a guilty plea on a count of possession to distribute LSD and was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with five years of probation after his release.
In 2012, Reidy violated the terms of his probation by committing a crime, using controlled substances and alcohol and failing to truthfully answer probation inquiries. He was sentenced to another 8 months in prison.
A grand jury has indicted Laura Reilly, of Easthampton, for statements she made to investigators after the disappearance of Joanne Ringer, according to The Berkshire Eagle. Reilly, 42, was arrested on April 20. She pleaded not guilty in Northern Berkshire District Court to three counts of misleading authorities and is free on $1,500 bail.
Following Tuesday's indictment, the case now moves to Berkshire Superior Court.
