Maynard D. Turner neither admits nor denies the allegations stated in the Summary Suspension/Notice of Opportunity for Hearing letter dated September 10, 2002 and Addendum Notice dated July 22, 2003; however, the Board has evidence sufficient to sustain the allegations and hereby adjudicates the same. Wherefore, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual promises hereinafter set forth, and in lieu of a formal hearing at this time, Maynard D. Turner knowingly and voluntarily agrees with the State Board of Pharmacy to the following: Maynard D. Turner's license to practice pharmacy in the State of Ohio is hereby INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED. Pursuant to Rule 4729-9-01(F) of the Ohio Administrative Code, Maynard D. Turner may not be employed by or work in a facility licensed by the State Board of Pharmacy to possess or distribute dangerous drugs during the suspension. Further, Maynard D. Turner agrees to the imposition of a monetary penalty of Six Thousand Dollars ($6,000.00) pursuant to an approved payment plan as follows: One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per month, due on or before the last day of each month, until the balance is paid in full. Checks should be made payable to the “Treasurer, State of Ohio” and mailed with the enclosed forms to the State Board of Pharmacy, 77 South High Street, 17th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215-6126. At any future 119. hearing pursuant to a petition for reinstatement, the payment plan will be revised and/or adjusted in the discretion of the Board, if Maynard D. Turner's license to practice pharmacy is reinstated. After a period two (2) years following the date of the Summary Suspension Order of September 10, 2002, the Board will consider any petition filed by Maynard D. Turner for a hearing, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chapter 119., for reinstatement. The Board will only consider reinstatement of Maynard D. Turner's license to practice pharmacy if the following conditions have been met: |
|
|
(A) Maynard D. Turner must enter into a contract, signed within thirty days after the effective date of this Order, with an Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS) treatment provider or a treatment provider acceptable to the Board for a period of not less than five years and submit a copy of the signed contract to the Board office before his pharmacist identification card is issued. The contract must provide that: |
|
|
(1) Random, observed
urine drug screens shall be conducted at least once each month for the first
year and then at least once every three months for the remaining four years. |
|
|
(a) The urine sample must be
given within twelve hours of notification.
The urine drug screen must include testing for creatinine or specific
gravity of the sample as the dilutional standard. (b) Results of all drug screens
must be negative. Any positive results,
including those that may have resulted from ingestion of food, but excluding
false positives that resulted from medication legitimately prescribed, indicate
a violation of probation. (c) Refusals of urine screens
or diluted urine screens are equivalent to a positive result and indicate a
violation of probation. |
|
|
(2) The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion. (3) Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meeting. (4) The program shall immediately report to the Board any violations of the contract and/or lack of cooperation. |
|
|
If, in the judgment of the Board, Maynard D. Turner appears to have violated or breached any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy reserves the right to, at any time, revoke probation, modify the conditions of probation, and reduce or extend the period of probation, and/or the Board may institute formal disciplinary proceedings for any and all possible violations or breaches, including but not limited to, alleged violation of the laws of Ohio occurring before the effective date of this Agreement. Maynard D. Turner acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to ask questions concerning the terms of this agreement and that all questions asked have been answered in a satisfactory manner. Any action initiated by the Board based on alleged violation of this Agreement shall comply with the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code. Maynard D. Turner waives any and all claims or causes of action he may have against the State of Ohio or the Board, and members, officers, employees, and/or agents of either, arising out of matters which are the subject of this Agreement. Maynard D. Turner waives any rights of appeal pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code. In the event the Board, in its discretion, does not adopt this Agreement as its Adjudication, this settlement offer is withdrawn and shall be of no evidentiary value and shall not be relied upon or introduced in any disciplinary action or appeal by either party. Maynard D. Turner agrees that should the Board reject this Agreement and if this case proceeds to hearing, he will assert no claim that the Board was prejudiced by its review and discussion of this Agreement or of any information relating thereto. This Settlement Agreement shall be considered a public record, as that term is used in Section 149.43 of the Ohio Revised Code, and shall become effective upon the date of the Board President’s signature below. |

Fraulini has complied with the terms set forth in the Order of the State
Board of Pharmacy, Docket No. D-020307-046, effective July 11, 2002. DECISION OF THE BOARD On the basis of the Finding
of Fact set forth above, and after consideration of the record as a whole,
the State Board of Pharmacy hereby approves the reinstatement of the

years and submit a copy of the signed contract to the Board office before his

twelve hours of notification. (c)
Results of all drug and alcohol screens must be negative. Any positive results, including those that
may have resulted from ingestion of food, but excluding false positives that
resulted from medication legitimately prescribed, indicate a violation of
probation. (d)
Refusals of urine screens or diluted urine screens are equivalent to
a positive result and indicate a violation of probation. |
|
|
(2) The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug and alcohol screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion. (3) Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meeting.

(C) Other terms of probation are as follows: |

|

FINDINGS OF FACT After having heard the testimony, observed the
demeanor of the witness, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility
of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds the following to be fact: |
|
|
(1) On June
6, 2003, Patricia M. Crane was notified by letter of her right to a hearing,
her rights in such hearing, and her right to submit her contentions in
writing. (2) As
demonstrated by return receipt dated June 17, 2003, Patricia M. Crane received
the letter of June 6, 2003, informing her of the allegations against her, and
her rights. (3)
Patricia M. Crane has not responded in any manner to the letter of
June 6, 2003, and has not requested a hearing in this matter. (4)
Records of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy indicate that Patricia M. Crane
was originally licensed by the State of Ohio as a pharmacist on August 4,
1975, pursuant to examination, and is currently licensed to practice pharmacy
in Ohio. (5)
Patricia M. Crane did, on or about September 5, 2002, with purpose to
defraud, forge a writing so that it purported to be genuine when it was
actually spurious, to wit: on Patricia M. Crane’s continuing pharmacy
education report form to the Board, she falsified continuing education
program numbers for programs which she did not complete. Patricia M. Crane submitted the form to
the Board purporting to having complied with continuing education
requirements, when she had not. Such
conduct is in violation of Section 2913.31 of the Ohio Revised Code. (6) Patricia M. Crane did, on or about September 5, 2002, knowingly
make a false statement to secure the issuance of her renewal identification
card by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and/or when the statement was in connection
with a report required by law, to wit: Patricia M. Crane submitted her
continuing pharmacy education report form with false information. Such conduct is in violation of Sections
2921.13 and 4729.12 of the Ohio Revised Code. (7)
Patricia M. Crane did, from September 15, 2002, through November 6,
2002, while not a properly licensed pharmacist, practice pharmacy, to wit:
while Patricia M. Crane had not properly renewed her license, and during a
period when she had either not obtained her pharmacist’s identification card
or after she had surreptitiously obtained an invalid identification card,
Patricia M. Crane practiced pharmacy when not legally authorized to do
so. Such conduct is in violation of
Section 4729.28 of the Ohio Revised Code. |
|
|
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW (1) The State
Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (5) through (7) of the Findings
of Fact constitute being guilty of dishonesty and unprofessional conduct in
the practice of pharmacy as provided in Division (A)(2) of Section 4729.16 of
the Ohio Revised Code. (2) The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that
paragraphs (6) and (7) of the Findings of Fact constitute being guilty of
willfully violating, conspiring to violate, attempting to violate, or aiding
and abetting the violation of provisions of Chapter 4729. of the Revised Code
as provided in Division (A)(5) of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code. (3) The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that
paragraphs (5) and (6) of the Findings of Fact constitute having committed
fraud, misrepresentation, or deception in applying for or securing a license
or identification card issued by the board under Chapter 4729. of the Revised
Code. |
|
|
DECISION OF THE BOARD Pursuant to Section 4729.16
of the Ohio Revised Code, and after consideration of the record as a whole,
the State Board of Pharmacy hereby suspends, for one month, the pharmacist
identification card, No. 03-2-11312, held by Patricia M. Crane effective as

M. Crane must not violate the drug laws of Ohio, any other state, or the
federal government. (C)

Pharmacy. (D)
Patricia M. Crane must comply with the terms of this Order. (E) Any
violation of probation may result in a Board hearing to consider alternative
or additional sanctions under Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.. |
|
|
Patricia M. Crane is hereby
advised that the Board may at any time revoke probation for cause, modify the
conditions of probation, and reduce or extend the period of probation. At any time during this period of
probation, the Board may revoke probation for a violation occurring during
the probation period. THIS ORDER WAS APPROVED BY
