RES. 2001-008 Mr. Winsley presented a request from reciprocity candidate Sapna Patria whose reciprocity application was still lacking a score from the Test of Spoken English (TSE). Mrs. Adelman moved that Ms. Patria be allowed to attend the reciprocity hearing on August 8, 2000, but not receive her pharmacist identification card until after the Board office received official confirmation of Ms. Patria’s successful completion of the TSE. The motion was seconded by Ms. Eastman and approved by the Board (Aye-7/Nay-0).

The Board then discussed the Case Western Reserve University Advanced Practice Nurse Pilot Program report that had previously been mailed to the members. There were no matters resulting that required official Board action.

FINDINGS OF FACT

After having heard the testimony, observed the demeanor of the witnesses, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds the following to be fact:

(1) Records of the State Board of Pharmacy indicate that Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. was originally licensed in the state of Ohio on July 28, 1994, pursuant to examination. Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr.’s license was summarily suspended on December 14, 1999, in accordance with Divisions (A) and (B) of Section 3719.121 of the Ohio Revised Code.

(2) Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. is addicted to liquor or drugs or impaired physically or mentally to such a degree as to render him unfit to practice pharmacy, to wit: on or about November 29, 1999, Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. confessed to a Pharmacy Board agent that he realized that he needed help because he has "a problem" with Codeine cough syrup. Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. admitted that he has “developed an addiction” and his work-time

use was “getting out of control". Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. admitted that he consumed 120cc to 180cc per day while practicing pharmacy to calm him down due to stress at work and in his personal life. Such conduct indicates that Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. falls within the ambit of Sections 3719.121(A) and (B), and 4729.16(A)(3) of the Ohio Revised Code.

(3) Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. did, from on or about June 10, 1999, through September 26, 1999, by deception, procure the administration of, a prescription for, or the dispensing of, a dangerous drug, to wit: Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. obtained the following prescriptions by deception from Dr. Hassan Tabrizi:

277754	08/17/99	08/17/99	Carisoprodol 350mg	40
281856	09/26/99	09/26/99	Carisoprodol 350mg	40

Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.22 of the Ohio Revised Code.

(4) Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. did, on or about June 30, 1999, intentionally make and/or knowingly possess a false or forged prescription, to wit: Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. knowingly possessed false or forged prescriptions for the following dangerous drug:

Rx No.	Issue Date	Dispensing Date	Drug	Qty
273331	6/28/99	6/30/99	Carisoprodol 350mg	20
281856	9/26/99	9/26/99	Carisoprodol 350mg	40

Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.23(B)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code.

(5) Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. did, from on or about October 21, 1998, through November 29, 1999, knowingly make a false statement in a record required by Chapter 3719. or 4729. of the Revised Code, to wit: Raymond Frederick Strahley, Jr. knowingly made false entries in the pharmacy’s exempt narcotic log:
