Hernando
Florida Pharmacy Prescription Drug Bust |
Prescription Drug
Detectives from the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Florida Department of Health
busted a Pharmacy in Spring Hill in Hernando County. The pharmacy owner
and two employees were arrested during execution of a search warrant for
filling fraudulent prescriptions.
The Charges: Unlawful dispensing of a controlled substance and Conspiracy to traffic in oxycodone. The Search Warrant was based upon an undercover operation someone told a detective over the phone the pharmacy had 180 "blues" in stock. According to Hernando Today, “Blues is a street term for oxycodone tablets. The detective created a false prescription with the name of a fictitious doctor for 180 oxycodone pills, deputies said ... ”
Another controlled buy was made a few months earlier by the detective who “paid $1,200 during that visit. The pharmacy owner then told him he wouldn't be required to pay as much because he was a repeat customer, deputies said.”
Prescription Drug Monitoring Program

Prescription
Drug |
Drug Defense Attorney and Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer, W.F. "Casey" Ebsary, Jr., has just reviewed a report on a Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Database in Florida. According to a published report, pharmacists must enter drug purchases into the system within 15 days of a sale. The loophole is that there is no requirement for doctors or physicians to check the database for doctor shopping or patterns of alleged drug abuse by patients.
The Florida Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) database came online in December, 2010. It remains to be seen whether both pharmacists and doctors will participate. According to the St. Petersburg Times, "Only about one in three Kentucky doctors has signed up for that state's drug monitoring program, which is considered a gold standard nationally, said Bruce Grant, director of the Florida Governor's Office of Drug Control. He said even fewer roughly one in five actually use it."

Constructive
Possession of Drugs |
Tampa Possession of Marijuana Attorney has been researching constructive possession cases. In one recent case a Government official approached the defendant. The Defendant claimed that he was in a utility room with buddies to smoke. The court ruled the facts and evidence were not sufficient to prove that the defendant had constructively possessed marijuana. Court found that where a defendant's theory - that he was smoking tobacco, not marijuana, was reasonable, circumstantial evidence was not inconsistent with defendant's reasonable hypothesis of innocence. The court ruled that evidence of Constructive possession was too weak to establish that the defendant had dominion and control over marijuana found near him at time of the arrest.
