Roanoke, VIRGINIA ― Meadowbrook Health Services and William L. Lamar have agreed to pay the United States $330,000 to settle civil allegations that they violated the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). According to the agreement, between May 11, 2016, and November 18, 2016, Meadowbrook Pharmacy, formerly located in Charlottesville, Virginia, which ceased operations in 2016, violated the CSA by unlawfully dispensing a controlled substance on at least 33 occasions. “Pharmacies and pharmacists, like other healthcare providers, must follow the law in dispensing potentially deadly controlled substances,” US Attorney Thomas T. Cullen stated. “As this case illustrates, we continue to use all available tools, including stiff civil penalties, to hold those who unlawfully prescribe and dispense these drugs accountable.”
