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 James Scott Crider was originally
licensed by the State of Ohio as a pharmacist on August 3, 1999, pursuant to
reciprocity, and that his license to practice pharmacy in Ohio is current.
(2) James Scott Crider did, on or about September 12, 2003, knowingly
make a false statement to secure the issuance of his renewal identification
card by the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy when the statement was in connection
with a report required by law, to wit: James Scott Crider submitted his
continuing pharmacy education report form with false information. Such conduct is in violation of Section
2921.13 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(3) James Scott Crider did, on or about September 12, 2003, fail to
submit evidence for the required six C.E.U.s of approved continuing pharmacy
education to secure the issuance of his renewal identification card by the Ohio
State Board of Pharmacy, to wit: on his continuing pharmacy education report
form to the Board, James Scott Crider failed to complete and submit the
required number of continuing pharmacy education courses. Such conduct is in violation of Rule
4729-7-02 of the Ohio Administrative Code.
(4) James Scott Crider did, on or about September 11, 2003,
intentionally make and/or knowingly possess a false or forged prescription, to
wit: James Scott Crider created Rx #621087 for Propecia 1 mg, a dangerous drug,
when not prescribed by a licensed prescriber.
The prescription was later made inactive and then re-numbered and filed
as Rx #9110077. Such conduct is in
violation of Section 2925.23 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(5) James
Scott Crider did, on or about October 19, 2003, intentionally make and/or
knowingly possess a false or forged prescription, to wit: James Scott Crider
pulled Rx #9110077 out of a hold file, and assigned it a new number, thereby
creating Rx #625126 for Propecia 1 mg, a dangerous drug, when not prescribed
by a licensed prescriber. James Scott
Crider then dispensed the drugs to himself.
Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.23 of the Ohio Revised
Code.
(6) James
Scott Crider did, on or about February 5, 2004, intentionally make and/or
knowingly possess a false or forged prescription, to wit: James Scott Crider
refilled Rx #625126 for Propecia 1 mg, a dangerous drug, when not prescribed by
a licensed prescriber. James Scott
Crider then dispensed the drugs to himself, indicating on the prescription
document that it was authorized when in fact it was not. Such conduct is in violation of Section
2925.23 of the Ohio Revised Code.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (4) through (6) of the Findings
of Fact constitute being guilty of a felony and gross immorality as provided in
Division (A)(1) of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(2) The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (2) through

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 David Ray

November 5, 1986, pursuant to examination, and is currently licensed to
practice pharmacy in Ohio. Records
further reflect that during the relevant time periods stated herein, David Ray
Spence was the Responsible Pharmacist at Wal-Mart Pharmacy 10-5184, 6674 Winchester

obtain or exert control over dangerous drugs, the property of Wal-Mart Pharmacy
10-5184, beyond the express or implied consent of the owner, to wit: David Ray Spence
admittedly stole a stock bottle containing phentermine HCL 37.5 mg. Such conduct is in violation of Section
2913.02 of the Ohio Revised Code.

disconnected two video surveillance cameras so that he would not be video taped
stealing drugs. Such conduct is in
violation of Section 2921.12 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(4) David
Ray Spence was, on or about March 17, 2004, and dates preceding, abusing drugs
to such a degree as to render him unfit to practice pharmacy within the meaning

abused drugs because he "wanted to get a lift" to help him work long
hours in the pharmacy.
(5) David

dangerous drugs, the property of Wal-Mart Pharmacy 10-2666, beyond the express
or implied consent of the owner, to wit: David Ray Spence admittedly stole four
or five 100 count stock bottles containing Provigil 200 mg tablets. Such conduct is in violation of Section
2913.02 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(6) David
Ray Spence did, on or about March 17, 2004, knowingly possess a controlled
substance when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and
4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: David Ray Spence possessed 64 tablets
of Provigil 200 mg in his vehicle, outside the confines of a pharmacy, and
without having a valid prescription for the drug. Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.11 of the Ohio
Revised Code.
(7) David

substance when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729.,
and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: David Ray Spence possessed 82.5
tablets of phentermine HCL 37.5 mg in his residence, outside the confines of a
pharmacy, and without having a valid prescription for the drug. Such conduct is in violation of Section
2925.11 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(8) David
Ray Spence did, on or about March 17, 2004, knowingly possess a controlled
substance when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729.,
and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: David Ray Spence possessed 2.5
tablets of phentermine/HCL 37.5 mg and 2 tablets of Provigil 200 mg in a clear
plastic bag on his person, outside the confines of the pharmacy, and without
having a valid prescription for the drugs.
Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.11 of the Ohio Revised
Code.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (2) through (8) of the Findings
of Fact constitute being guilty of gross immorality as provided in Division
(A)(1) of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(2) The
State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (2) through (8) 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

(3) The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraph (4) of the
Findings of Fact constitutes being addicted to or abusing liquor or drugs and
impaired physically or mentally to such a degree as to render him unfit to
practice pharmacy as provided in Division (A)(3) of Section 4729.16 of the
Ohio Revised Code.
(4) The
State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (6) through (8) 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 2925. of the Revised Code as provided in Division (A)(5) of Section
4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

after the effective date of this Order, with an Ohio Department of Alcohol and

(3) David Ray Spence must provide documentation to the Board of full
restitution to Wal-Mart Pharmacy 10-2666.
(4) The State Board of Pharmacy hereby declares
