ENDWELL — New York State Police at Endwell arrested Clyde T. Stevens, 46, of Binghamton at 11:18 a.m. Feb. 23 following an investigation into fraudulent prescription practices at a Rite Aid pharmacy in Endwell.
The investigation determined that while employed as a pharmacist, Stevens illegally dispensed both controlled and non-controlled substances, including issuing fraudulent prescriptions.
The inquiry began after the company identified discrepancies in medication distribution, revealing that Stevens had dispensed quantities exceeding doctors’ prescriptions on multiple occasions.
These actions resulted in a financial loss of more than $4,000 to the pharmacy.
Further investigation found that Stevens also unlawfully filled prescriptions for controlled substances that had never been authorized by a medical professional.
As a result, Stevens was charged with five counts of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance or of a controlled substance by a practitioner or pharmacist, 11 counts of forgery in the second degree (medical prescription), one count of grand larceny in the third degree, and five counts of fraud and deceit related to controlled substances.
Stevens was processed at SP Endwell and subsequently transported to the Broome County Correctional Facility for centralized arraignment.
