Perry Reese III was convicted on two counts of distribution of a controlled substance and one count of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) act after investigators caught him distributing large amounts of Oxycontin.
Reese, 51, owned an urgent care center in Sampson County, North Carolina. In 2002 a former client of Reese’s contacted the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and explained that Reese had allowed the man to purchase Oxycontin from him. At one point, under Reese’s watch the patient was taking 30-35 Oxycontin pills a day.
During the course of the investigation, officials were able to purchase Oxycontin from Reese on four different occasions. Reese never provided an examination and asked for no medical records. All in all, Reese illegaly sold 174.165 grams of Oxycontin, the legal equivalent of 1,166 kilograms of marijuana.
These days even doctors are getting into the drug game. An Oxycontin addiction can develop almost over night. This opiate is extremely powerful and at times even more so than heroin. Oxycontin addicts must enroll in a drug and alcohol rehab in order to fully overcome this life threatening addiction. Call Narconon Louisiana for more information at 866-422-4650.
