(b)  Michael Robert Krusling did not respond in any manner to the letter of October 14, 1982.  The Board found the allegations in the letter of October 14, 1982 to be fact and issued its Order in the matter of Michael Robert Krusling on January 18, 1983, denying Michael Robert Krusling's applica­tion.

 

(3)  The State Board of Pharmacy issued a Notice of Opportunity For A Hearing on May 17, 1984, to Michael Robert Krusling to respond to the allegations listed therein and whether or not the Board should take action against his pharmacist identification card to practice pharmacy in Ohio.  After notice and hearing, the Board found the following to be fact:

The Board issued its Order on October 24, 1984, in the matter of Michael Robert Krusling, R.Ph. No. 03-1-10023.  The Board concluded that Michael Robert Krusling was guilty of violating Chapters 2925., 3715., and 3719. of the Ohio Revised Code and fined Mr. Krusling one hundred dollars ($100.00) and required him to take and pass a Jurisprudence examination.

FINDING 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 that James W. Smetana has complied with the terms set forth in the Order of the State Board of Phar­macy, Docket No. D-990422-044, effective September 9, 1999.

 

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 pharmacist identification card, No. 03-3-11602, held by James W. Smetana to practice pharmacy in Ohio and places James W. Smetana on probation for five years beginning on the effective date of this Order, with the following conditions:

 

(A)  James W. Smetana must enter into a new 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 with the renewal application.  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.  Refusal of a urine screen or a diluted urine screen is equivalent to a positive result.  Any positive results, including those which may have resulted from ingestion of food, but excluding false positives which resulted from medication legitimately prescribed, indicates a violation of the con­tract.

 

(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.

 

(B)  James W. Smetana must submit quarterly progress reports to the Board (due January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10 of each year of probation) that include:

 

(1)  The written report and documentation provided by the treatment pro­gram pursuant to the contract, and

 

(2)  A written description of James W. Smetana's progress towards recovery and what James W. Smetana has been doing during the previous three months.

 

(C)  James W. Smetana must submit to the Board, within ninety days from the effec­tive date of this Order, a payment plan for restitution that is acceptable to the Board.  James W. Smetana must abide by this payment plan.

 

(D)  James W. Smetana must notify the Montgomery County Child Support Enforce­ment Agency (CSEA) of the reinstatement of his pharmacist license, and shall keep the CSEA informed of his actual place of employ­ment at all times.  A copy of each notification must be sent to the Board office as proof of compliance.

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

 

(1)  The 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 (6) 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.

 

(3)  The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraphs (3) through (6) 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 or a rule adopted by the Board as provided in Divi­sion (A)(5) of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(4)  The State Board of Pharmacy concludes that paragraph (2) of the Findings of Fact constitutes being guilty of committing fraud, misrepresentation, or deception in apply­ing for or securing a license or identification card issued by the Board as provided in Division (A)(10) of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio 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 places James Scott Crider on probation for one year.  The terms of probation are as follows:

 

(A)  James Scott Crider must obtain, within ninety days after the effective date of this Order, a full psychiatric evaluation by a licensed psychiatrist or psy­chologist and must abide by the treatment plan as designed by that psychiatrist or psycholo­gist.  The psychiatrist or psychologist must provide an initial status report, which includes the recommended treatment plan, directly to the Board office within ten days after com­pleting the assessment, and must also provide a final report at the end of probation or treat­ment, whichever comes first.

 

(B)  The State Board of Pharmacy hereby declares that James Scott Crider's pharma­cist identification card is not in good standing and thereby denies the privi­lege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns pursuant to para­graph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(C)  James Scott Crider may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.

 

(D)  James Scott Crider must not violate the drug laws of Ohio, any other state, or the federal government.

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 Spence was ori­ginally licensed by the State of Ohio as a pharmacist on 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 Boulevard, Canal Winchester, Ohio, pursuant to Sections 4729.27 and 4729.55 of the Ohio Revised Code and Rule 4729-5-11 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(2)  David Ray Spence did, on or about March 12, 2004, with purpose to deprive, know­ingly 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.

(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 of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: David Ray Spence stole and abused drugs because he "wanted to get a lift" to help him work long hours in the pharmacy.

 

(5)  David Ray Spence did, on or about March 17, 2004, and during the preceding eighteen months, with purpose to deprive, knowingly obtain or exert control over 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 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 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

 

(1)  The 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 Ohio Revised Code.

 

(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.

 

DECISION OF THE BOARD

(b)  The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion.

 

(c)  Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alco­holics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meeting.

(a)  The written report and documentation provided by the treat­ment program pursuant to the contract, and

 

(b)  A written description of David Ray Spence's progress towards recov­ery and what David Ray Spence has been doing during the previous three months.

 

(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 that David Ray Spence’s phar­macist identification card is not in good standing and thereby denies the privi­lege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns pursuant to para­graph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

 

(5)  David Ray Spence may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.

 

(6)  David Ray Spence may not destroy, assist in, or witness the destruc­tion of controlled substances.
