Tampa Bay Criminal Defense Lawyer - Pinellas Park Prescription Fraud

By Nick Dorsten, Esq.

First they came for the doctor...now they got the office manager (from the times website).

PINELLAS PARK — The former office manager at a doctor's office that authorities say was operating as a pill mill was arrested on multiple charges Monday.

The office manager, 31, of Tampa was arrested on charges of racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering and conspiracy to traffic oxycodone.

She worked as an office manager at the Pinellas Park clinic of a doctor, who was arrested April 28 on similar charges, Pinellas sheriff's officials said. The doctor was accused of running a pill mill out of her Pinellas Park office and an office in Lee County.

The United States Marshal's Service Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested her in Hillsborough County on Monday at the request of Pinellas sheriff's officials. He was being held at the Hillsborough County Jail on Monday night in lieu of $75,000 bail.

Pinellas investigators said the doctor, 41, scheduled five patients every 15 minutes, commonly seeing more than 60 a day, some by webcam. Her Pinellas Park office was on Park Blvd.

She was released from the Pinellas County Jail on Friday after she posted $160,000 bail.
