Dr. Anthony Conrardy, 61, and Dr. William McCutchen, III, 46, have been found guilty of unlawfully distributing Schedule II narcotics by a federal jury in Detroit, MI.
The jury deliberated for 8 days before returning the verdict, concluding a four-week trial before United States District Judge Arthur J. Tarnow.
Dr. Anthony Conrardy was convicted of five counts of unlawfully distributing Oxycodone and Dilaudid, while Dr. William McCutchen, III was convicted of four counts of unlawfully distributing Oxycodone.
Their convictions stem from the operation of the Meghnot Comprehensive Center for Hope, a medical clinic on the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti border, which was found to be a pill mill supplying narcotics to drug-seeking customers.
The evidence presented at trial demonstrated that Dr. Anthony Conrardy and Dr. William McCutchen, III wrote Schedule II narcotic prescriptions to individuals outside the course of professional medical practice and for no legitimate medical purpose in exchange for compensation.
The Meghnot Center charged its purported patients $250.00 in cash for a thirty-day supply of narcotics, generating roughly $4.5 million dollars in revenue.
Each of the counts on which Dr. Conrardy and Dr. McCutchen were convicted carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1,000,000.
