A former pharmacy tech has been taken down by the law for his role in distributing illicit drugs in Ohio.
Curtis Green, 35, of Cleveland, was sentenced to 36 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Donald C. Nugent after pleading guilty to possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute.
The crime took place between Dec. 30, 2022 and April 9, 2023, during which time Green used his position as a certified pharmacy technician for a hospital in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, to order controlled substances. He ordered them under the guise of ordering on behalf of the hospital, but in reality, he was distributing them for his own gain.
According to court documents, Green was found to possess 103 grams of oxycodone and 77.5 grams of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl, both schedule II controlled substances.
During a federal search warrant execution of Green’s residence on April 9, 2023, agents seized a whopping $72,880 in cash. An additional $2,025 was seized from the defendant on the following day.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mayfield Heights Police Department. U.S. Assistant Attorney Margaret A. Sweeney took on the prosecution.
