A southern Kentucky pharmacist and his wife have been indicted by a federal grand jury for unlawfully distributing controlled substances and theft of medical products.
A federal grand jury in Bowling Green returned the indictments against 44-year-old Patrick Huff and his wife, 44-year-old Jennifer Huff, both of Bowling Green, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky.
Patrick Huff was arrested Wednesday at Franklin Pharmacy.
According to the indictment, the Huffs were charged with one count of conspiracy to commit theft of medical products and one count of conspiracy to unlawfully distribute controlled substances.
The indictment charges the Huffs with “conspiring to take, carry away, and conceal and knowingly possess, transport and traffic a pre-retail medical product, namely oxycodone and hydrocodone, with a value over $5,000, and conspiring to sell and trade the oxycodone and hydrocodone for marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine,” according to prosecutors.
If convicted, Joseph Huff faces a maximum of 40 years in prison, and Jennifer Huff faces a maximum sentence of 35 years. There is no parole in the federal system.
