This is total nonsense. If anyone reading has allergies like I do, they would understand. I don't use them but I certainly could see why somebody would.
This will tarnish the reputation of this man and it's not right.
It shouldn't have happened and it shouldn't have been published.

That looks like the manufacturers recommended dosage during that time period. STUPID lawmakers! Meth lab operators couldn't do business with that small amount & they would buy generics I suspect. Marc is well known in the community & certainly doesn't fit the "profile" of a lawbreaker. I hope it is thrown out quickly & some changes are made.

What I can't understand, is why the fire department marshall was purchasing the medication at different locales? I know that isn't a crime, but don't we generally purchase our medication at one retail store? That is what caused suspicion.
ajm: What is the profile of a lawbreaker?
Remember a local news anchor and his oxycontin purchases got him in hot water? These laws are in place for a reason and he should have known them. He paid his dues, got well and moved on.
Everyone should be treated fairly under the law no matter how well 'known' they are and their 'position'.
