Florida doctors arrested for traffickingDoctor, three S. Florida pharmacists arrested in trafficking of painkillers The president-elect of the Broward County Pharmacy Association, two other South Florida pharmacists and a doctor were arrested on Tuesday and charged with trafficking in prescription painkillers -- drugs that have caused more overdose deaths in Florida than cocaine and heroin for the past three years.
Seth Mahler, 50, of Plantation, Florida elected last month to head the pharmacy association, was charged along with one of his employees, Jason R. Villano, 29, of Oakland Park, also a pharmacist, with trafficking in controlled substances, according to investigators.
Mahler and Villano operate the Plantation Chemist Pharmacy, 250 S. University Drive, Plantation, and the United Prescription Center, 4517 Hollywood Blvd.
"It was a surprise," said Steve Pressman, a past president of the Broward County Pharmacy Association. "It's all just allegations right now. If there is a conviction, we would have to get another president."
Julius Seiler, 49, of Coral Springs, owner and operator of the Drug Store Pharmacy, 3397 Sheridan St., Hollywood, also is charged with trafficking in controlled substances, investigators said.
Theodore Racciatti, 74, an osteopath who practices in North Miami Beach, was charged with multiple counts of trafficking in controlled substances and conspiracy to traffic in prescription drugs for allegedly selling bogus prescriptions in exchange for cash.
According to investigators, Racciatti wrote prescriptions for OxyContin, a heroin-like painkiller, and Percocet, another narcotic painkiller, and other such drugs in the names of fictitious patients. The drugs have become popular with drug dealers and drug users in the past few years.
"He was provided bogus [patient] records knowing they were bogus and wrote prescriptions in those names. He never met any of the individuals in the patient files," said Sgt. Lisa McElhaney, drug diversion officer for the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The three pharmacies filled the bogus prescriptions and sold sealed bottles of the narcotics without attaching any patient information labels, according to investigators.
McElhaney said the drugs left the pharmacies in "extremely large quantities, several hundred tablets apiece. In one case, a thousand oxycodone, more than one human being could possibly consume."
Normally, prescription narcotics are limited to a 30-day supply.
None of the men arrested could be reached for comment on Tuesday.
The eight-month investigation involved a team of investigators from the Broward Sheriff's Office, Hollywood and Plantation police departments, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI.
A South Florida Sun-Sentinel investigation published last year found almost 400 prescription drug overdose deaths in a seven-county area by reviewing medical examiner records for 2000 and 2001. Most involved a combination of drugs.
Last month a report by the state's medical examiners showed that in 2002, twice as many people died with prescription narcotics in their system as were found to have cocaine. Prescription drugs were found at lethal levels in 60 percent of overdose deaths, compared with 40 percent for illegal drugs.
"From all indications, the medical examiner report, substance abuse report, it's still going strong, which is why we still need a prescription drug monitoring program and other strong efforts to help to curb prescription drug activity," McElhaney said.
