Metro police officers and TBI agents during the night arrested three more persons, including a former employee of the Tennessee Board of Pharmacy, in connection with the continuing investigation of Brooks Pharmacy on Trousdale Drive.
Charles Thomas Burton, 57, of 107 Hunters Chase Drive in Smyrna, who retired in 1998 as an inspector for the pharmacy board, is, for now, charged with one felony count of obtaining the painkiller Lortab by fraud and without a prescription from Brooks Pharmacy owner Glenn Brooks.
Richard Warren Jett, 56, of Temple Road in Franklin, is, for now, also charged with one felony count of obtaining Lortab by fraud and without a prescription from Glenn Brooks.
Helen Michelle Weathers, 32, of 5909 Hitching Post Lane, a former employee of Brooks Pharmacy, was rearrested during the night and was charged with one felony count of obtaining Lortab by fraud. Weathers is charged with filling a prescription for Lortab under another woman’s name and slipping the bottle of pills into her purse. On January 20th, Metro narcotics detectives and TBI agents arrested Weathers after she was caught leaving the business with more than 800 hydrocodone pills stashed in a portable cooler. She was charged then with possession of narcotics for resale.
Wednesday afternoon, Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley, 43, was arrested by Metro officers and TBI agents on charges that he illegally received the painkiller Lortab, the muscle relaxant Soma, and the legend drug Cataflam from Brooks Pharmacy. Headley is charged with obtaining scheduled drugs by fraud, a felony, and obtaining a legend drug by fraud, a misdemeanor.
Glenn Brooks, 69, of 828 Old Hickory Boulevard in Brentwood, was arrested Wednesday afternoon at the pharmacy on the same charges as Headley for illegally dispensing the drugs.
Additional charges are expected to be placed as the investigation continues.
