George says selling oxycodone may cost prison, she needs an oxy today!

Selling your pills may cost you 20 years!

Donna M. George, 47, was convicted yesterday of illegally selling thousands of pain medication pills out of her home in a gated community in Fredericksburg, Virginia. A good portion of those “candy pills” are the super potent pain killer, OxyContin


Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and John Perren, Acting Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, while grinning ear to ear, made the announcement.


“There’s no difference between dealing illegal street drugs from your home and providing prescription drugs to people who don’t need them,” said U.S. Attorney MacBride. “Pain medications can be similar in their effect to heroin if they are abused. We’re committed to prosecuting those who manipulate our health care system to traffic these extremely addictive pain killers.”


Donna M. George had a pretty good racquet going. She used shills to buy pain medications at various pharmacies. Ms. George then ran her own pharmaxy of sorts. She sold to local friends who wanted the meds now and who had the bucks and were willing to pay for the candy. Many of them were fighting body pain and couldn’t afford a normal doctor. Others just wanted to get high.


On September 24th, 2009, Ms. Brooks probably needed a few candies herself. The stay at home pharmacist was indicted by a federal grand jury that day on conspiracy and distribution of oxymoron charges. She faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison when she is sentenced on April 23, 2010, by United States District Judge James C. Cacheris.


Donna was no alone in her little caper, a fact the police no doubt are aware of. Donna made deals with others to cash fraudulent prescriptions at pharmacies. In her short time in business, Donna reportedly obtained over 20,000. Donna acted not only as procuring agent, but also as street level distributor. Amongst her clients included college students. I guess getting your girl pregnant is tougher to take than it once was.

"Testimony at trial showed that Mrs. George was the main, street-level distributer for the scheme"

According to the indictment and evidence at trial, from 2002 to August 2009, George conspired with others to help produce fraudulent prescriptions to be passed at pharmacies to obtain more than 20,000 pills containing OxyContin and other narcotic pain killers. Testimony at trial showed that Mrs. George was the main, street-level distributer for the scheme, which relied on her for the movement of the majority of the thousands of pills procured by her and her co-conspirators. Some of these pills were subsequently sold and distributed to other customers, including college students.

We hope Donna keeps a closed mouth and an open pocket book. She is going to need a top rate attorney. According to allegations, she often fronted the money for the drug purchases, kept half the pills for her own use, and then sold the remaining pills to others through transactions conducted in parking lots of drug and department stores, gun shops, and in her home. As atrocious as it sounds, she sat at times in front of her two young grandchildren and other unrelated children whom she was watching, quietly dealing her junk.

"She was twice caught on video selling controlled substances and purchases"

Donna Jones must be the pillar of her community. She was twice caught on video selling controlled substances and purchases, selling thousands in Oxymoron. If that were not enough, she attempted to induce one witness to lie. From jail, she threatened to reveal personal and confidential information about a person if they went forward with their testimony.


Donna Jones did not work by herself. She had a great use of helpers and enablers. This list includes


Richard of Fredericksburg VA for conspiring to distribute oxymoron and was sentenced to 60 months in prison


Richard Sindelar, 31, of Fredericksburg, Va., pled guilty to conspiring to distribute oxymoron and was sentenced to 60 months in prison.


Lisa Sindelar, 31, of Fredericksburg, Va., pled guilty to conspiracy and distribution of oxymoron and was sentenced to 60 months in prison.


John Sindelar, 35, of Colonial Beach, Va., pled guilty to conspiracy and distribution of oxycodone and was sentenced to 20 months in prison.


Sales of pain killing medication is not that unusual, as it seems.  If you have ever been in pain and cannot escape it then medication is one of your few options.  At the rates docs and drug companies sharge, the poor cannot afford to get the treatment they need.  A pharmacist was indicted for selling pain meds to his clients.


The case does not stand alone.  Read about a doctor himself who was dispensing pain meds for fun and profit.!This case is part of an Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force (“OCDETF”) investigation (Operation “Cotton Candy”), which has been focusing on the illegal distribution by numerous doctors, pharmacists, nurses, and patients of pain medication, including the very potent, expensive, and widely-abused oxymoron, also known by the brand name of “OxyContin”.
