A Grayson pharmacist has been indicted for allegedly dispensing a controlled substance without a proper doctor’s prescription and for falsifying pharmacy medical records.
30-year-old Tommy Dearfield Jr., of Ashland, received a 37-count indictment by a Carter County grand jury Oct. 5 for alleged illegal conduct in 2017 as pharmacy manager at Rite Aid.
Attorney General Andy Beshear today announced that A-G detectives and members of the Grayson Police Department arrested Dearfield October 12th.
He was lodged in the Carter County Detention Center but has been released on $10-thousand dollar surety bond.
The investigation was conducted by Beshear’s Department of Criminal Investigations with assistance by the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy and Rite Aid Loss Prevention.
Beshear said Dearfield voluntarily surrendered his pharmacy license during the course of the investigation.
Dearfield is scheduled to appear in Carter Circuit Court at 9 a.m. on Nov. 5.
