A pharmacist in White Plains, was arrested and presented in Manhattan federal court.  According to the allegations in the Indictment unsealed today, the pharmacist filled oxycodone prescriptions that he knew were illegitimate, including prescriptions filled by a customer in multiple variations of his name and date of birth, and prescriptions filled in the names of individuals who never were present in the pharmacy.  The pharmacist filled thousands of these oxycodone prescriptions, “fronted” controlled substances, and made false reports to New York State authorities, in exchange for cash payments and a vacation.  The pharmacist admitted, in substance, that he and his employees could be called “licensed drug dealers” because “oxy pays the bills” at the The pharmacist’s pharmacy.
