(WWJ) -- Two metro Detroit medical professionals are in trouble with the law after Michigan State Police seized more than 7,500 narcotics pills and more than $200,000.
MSP says detectives from the MSP-Metro Narcotic Enforcement Team carried out an investigation involving a pharmacy and pain clinic in the West Warren area of Detroit after learning the clinic had been prescribing abnormally large amounts of painkillers.
While authorities have not released the name of the clinic or any names of those involved, they say a 69-year-old nurse practitioner from Detroit and a 32-year-old pharmacist from Bloomfield Hills were arrested on Wednesday as a result of the investigation.
Detectives seized more than 7,500 pills and $210,000, as well as evidence of medical and insurance fraud.
The pharmacist, according to the investigation, led the entire state in the prescription of Oxycodone since October 2020.
The MSP's Metro Narcotics Enforcement Team is a multi-jurisdictional task force that operates in the southeastern part of the state, made up of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
