Something rotten in the state of Oklahoma

Can you say big fat lawsuit? I knew you could... From the American Pharmacists Association:
Grand jury indicts Oklahoma pharmacist and Board of Health member on felony drug charges
As part of an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) investigation, Haskell Lee Evans Jr., 68, a Lawton, OK, pharmacist and member of the State Board of Health, was recently indicted for allegedly �recklessly� selling pseudoephedrine to make the illegal stimulant methamphetamine. Evans was named in four felony (selling methamphetamine precursors) and three misdemeanor (willful failure to report information to the OBN) counts in an indictment unsealed in Comanche County District Court. Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson is pursuing a sentence of up to 43 years in prison.

Evans, the owner of Haskell�s Prescription Shop in Lawton, allegedly sold pseudoephedrine to undercover agents with valid licenses who had not exceeded the limit of purchase. The pseudoephedrine sales were considered "reckless" on one count because the agents arrived in the same vehicle.
Emphasis mine. I know nothing of the possible causes of suspicion against Dr. Evans' previous practices and there is no mention if Dr. Evans observed the agents getting out of the car or if they walked into his shop together. Either way, I would bet that he is lawyering up and the lawyer is looking at a nice new car right around now... Posted by DaveH at August 25, 2009 10:03 PM
