Two New Jersey residents have been charged with conspiracy to unlawfully distribute oxycodone, according to an announcement by Acting U.S. Attorney and Special Attorney Alina Habba.
Michael Kiszka, 60, from East Hanover, and Gregory Kubina, 50, from Whiting, were charged by complaint with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute oxycodone. Both appeared in federal court before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jessica S. Allen on September 11, 2025, and were released on a $100,000 unsecured bond.
Court documents indicate that Kiszka and Kubina obtained high-dosage oxycodone pills from several doctors in New Jersey. Kiszka received pills directly from certain doctors and also bought pills acquired by Kubina from other physicians. The pair allegedly diverted more than 10,000 oxycodone pills to street-level drug users starting around April 2024.
If found guilty, each defendant could face up to twenty years in prison and a $1 million fine.
“Acting U.S. Attorney and Special Attorney Habba credited special agents, task force officers, and diversion investigators with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Cheryl Ortiz in Newark, New Jersey, with the investigation.”
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kruti D. Dharia and Jake A. Nasar from the Health Care Fraud and Opioids Abuse Prevention Unit are representing the government.
“The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”
Gregory Kubina is represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Claressa Lowe. Michael Kiszka is represented by attorney Kevin G. Roe.
