South Jersey doctor charged with selling prescriptions out of his car
A South Jersey doctor, whose license to practice medicine expired in 2005, has been charged with three counts of distribution of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS). He is being held in the Camden County Jail on $450,000 bail. The case is also being reviewed by the United States Attorney's Office for potential federal charges. It appears that the defendant could also be charged with prescription drug fraud and forgery in New Jersey.
The defendant was arrested Thursday after he allegedly made three sales to undercover officers. Investigators paid him $1,500 for a dozen prescriptions. According to police, the prescriptions, which were made out to multiple people, would have provided 1,440 doses of oxycodone based drugs such as Oxycontin and Percocet. The former doctor allegedly ran this prescription fraud business out of his 2005 Toyota Camry. For additional information see, "Unlicensed doc sold painkillers from his Camry".
