PHARMACIST SOLD PILLS TO STREET PUSHERS

ILLEGALLY DISPENSED SOME 700,000 DOSES OF “CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES”

In early June, HT (69) of Houston, Texas, was convicted by a federal jury of two counts of “unlawfully distributing and dispensing controlled substances,” from a now-closed pharmacy.

According to a press release issued by the United States Department of Justice, in exchange for cash, HT and his cohorts illegally distributed some 700,000 doses of controlled substances – including some 500,000 oxycodone and hydrocodone pills – using forged prescriptions provided by street dealers.

Scheduled to be sentenced on September 23, 2024, HT faces up to two decades in prison on each count.

Think he should have made a deal there?
