What Happened
Murray Drug Company, Inc., which did business as Acme Pharmacy in Homerville, Georgia, agreed in October 2022 to a $350,000 settlement to resolve allegations that it violated the Controlled Substances Act. The government alleged that the pharmacy failed to account for thousands of dosage units of controlled substances, failed to maintain complete and accurate records and effective controls against theft, and had controlled substances unsafeguarded and improperly stored during an on-site inspection. The pharmacy ceased operating during the federal investigation. The settlement involved no determination or admission of liability.
