Kat, you are getting this mixed up with the pharmacist that was accused of making a bomb that was actually just playing with firecrackers? Now I know he has a high-powered brother as in the district attorney. I really don't know who the other pharmacist was - just where he worked. The DA's brother never lost his job - he is still working at the same place as always. Does the other one also have a well connected brother?
No, I'm not getting the cases confused, they're totally different. I guess "high-powered" might not be the right term, more like "highly connected" (with money).
When they had David Scoggin's trial, the judge mentioned this pharmacist's case as being the most egregious of the incidents Scoggins and the drug task force was involved in. However, since that case had already been resolved and they'd let the guy plead down to some nothing misdemeanor charge, he was off the hook (as far as criminal charges). Scoggin got the can, and I believe prison time, for accepting (and maybe also soliciting) the bribes. I think the other guy's pharmacist license was probaby suspended for awhile (someone said he'd been selling cars), but he's practicing pharmacy now.
Well if that doesn't take the cake! I cannot believe that. So now we know FOR CERTAIN that there is at least ONE pharmacist that really is nothing more than a licensed drug dealer. Mind blowing. I also heard thru the grapevine that Scogin had to have had some help from some higher powers, as in possibly previous Lauderdale County DA??????????????????? Lord Have Mercy - I cannot believe that cat got his pharmacist license back.
