Pharmacist Convicted in Opioid Scheme | Annapolis News

A Florida pharmacist, Olushola Yusuf, 60, was convicted by a federal jury for conspiring to illegally distribute drugs and five counts of illegal distribution, having dispensed over 335,000 high-dose oxycodone pills through her pharmacies. Prosecutors allege she targeted cash-paying customers, some traveling from across the state, charging up to $1,000 a month—while locking her pharmacy doors to control access. Her actions, officials say, fueled the opioid crisis and prioritized profit over patient safety. Co-defendant Saman Gimenez has already pleaded guilty. Yusuf now faces up to 20 years per count, with sentencing set for October 14, 2026. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
