The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Thackerville Pharmacy and its owner, Nurse Practitioner Dana Sprott, have agreed to pay $115,000.00 to settle allegations they violated the federal Controlled Substances Act. The Complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma on August 29, 2022, alleged that Defendants Sprott and Thackerville Pharmacy used a rubber stamp of a doctor’s signature to prescribe drugs without that doctor’s knowledge or approval. The Complaint was the result of a Drug Enforcement Administration Diversion Unit investigation that determined at least 21 patients had prescriptions issued and filled without the knowledge of their doctor. The DEA also determined that some of the controlled substances were issued to Ms. Sprott’s family members, and controlled substances were impermissibly ordered for office inventory.
