RITE AID BEING INVESTIGATED BY FEDS OVER METH INGREDIENT SALES

(12/23/2013)

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating West Virginia Rite Aid stores and their sales of cold medications used to make methamphetamine in clandestine labs. The DEA's Tactical Diversion Unit recently requested scores of records from the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy dating back to 2006. The electronic records document Rite Aid's sales of pseudoephedrine, a key meth-making ingredient. "They asked for historical data. It was a lot of information," said Mike Goff, a pharmacy board administrator who oversees the state's controlled-substance monitoring program. "They apparently found some questionable Sudafed sales."
