G.T. is a licensed pharmacist. After a physician negligently prescribed him with a controlled substance for back pain, he became addicted. When he could no longer get the prescriptions from his physician, he began stealing medications from his pharmacy while on duty. When the pharmacy discovered the theft, they reported his conduct to the DEA and the Board. G.T. was arrested by the DEA and an investigation was initiated by the Board.
After an informal conference with the Board, G.T. and counsel, the Board agreed to issue G.T. a confidential Board Order. G.T. was placed on probation and required to complete a program. The investigation and the Order will remain confidential and will not be subject to public disclosure.
