Beshear: Rite Aid pharmacy manager indicted for illegally dispensing controlled substance

FRANKFORT, KY. (WTVQ) – Attorney General Andy Beshear has announced that a Grayson Rite Aid Pharmacy manager has been indicted for allegedly dispensing a controlled substance without a proper doctor’s prescription and for falsifying pharmacy medical records.

Officials say 30-year-old Tommy Dearfield received a 37-count indictment by a Carter County grand jury Oct. 5 for alleged illegal conduct in 2017 as pharmacy manager.

Beshear says Dearfield voluntarily surrendered his pharmacy license during the course of the investigation.

Dearfield is scheduled to appear in Carter Circuit Court at 9 a.m. on Nov. 5.
