Man Sentenced For Part In Eastern Ky. Drug Ring
KENTUCKY....
Former Cincinnati pharmacist Thomas Stark has been sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine after being charged with dispensing thousands of pain pills that ended up being sold and abused in eastern Kentucky. In the drug ring in which Stark was charged, several people from the Pike and Floyd County areas went to doctors in Louisiana, Philadelphia and Cincinnati between 2001 and 2007 to obtain prescriptions to be brought back and sold or abused. Stark is among 22 people charged in the conspiracy led by Timothy Wayne Hall of Floyd County. Stark has forfeited $100,000 to the government, representing the amount he made while improperly dispensing 11,000 methadone pills.
