What Happened
A federal jury in the Southern District of Texas convicted Texas pharmacy owner Clint Carr in March 2022 of unlawfully distributing controlled substances and laundering money. Carr co-owned and operated CC Pharmacy in Houston and two further pharmacies in the Austin area with co-conspirator Dustin Curry. Evidence at trial showed the pharmacies unlawfully dispensed over 1.5 million dosage units in 18 months, mostly oxycodone and hydrocodone, in bulk for cash on mostly forged or stolen prescriptions. Carr faces up to 140 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for May 27. Five other co-conspirators have pleaded guilty.
