DEA REPORT ON ARRESTS link
“Members of this ring regularly circulate between Los Angeles and Spokane to fuel their customer’s insatiable appetite and pharmaceutical addiction,” said Seattle DEA Special Agent in Charge Matthew G. Barnes. “For too long, their web of destruction has fed upon, and profited from the misery of many Washingtonians, only to leave a surplus of illegally obtained pain killers and ruined lives in their wake. I would like to commend the ongoing cooperative efforts of our federal, state and local partners to keep our communities safe.”
Basically, reading other news stories on this same event, 40 people have been arrested and the fraud involves doctors, medical clinics, billing the government, as well as street sells.
Since we' ve heard of homeless selling and using OXYCONTIN, we thought we would post this. If you're in need of rehab, don't be ashamed. We know many of you started this addiction from legit prescriptions due to very real bodily pain. Starting with AA or another 12 step group may be the thing to do. AA NATIONAL MEETING DIRECTORY! (Ask your local group if they know of meeting for other substances!) See our other health links on this blog's side bar!
