Illegal Clinic Distributed 3.4 Million Opioid Pills

VIDEO – SUPPLY & DEMAND? –

Aug. 15, 2024 – The four-year-long investigation began after the Sheriff’s Office learned Tri-County Medical Center LLC, was operating as an illegal pain-management clinic. Through the business, Sheriff Mike Prendergast alleged, just over 39,900 controlled substances prescriptions were written.” The amount of oxycodone and methadone alone that we seized could kill more than 1.2 million people here in the state of Florida.

The sheriff said one search warrant at Scriven’s home led to the discovery of additional drugs, firearms and documents that linked his criminal activity at the medical facility. Another search of storage units rented by Scriven uncovered multiple cars, trailers, marijuana and other evidence, he added.

Some 160 firearms were seized at one storage unit, which Prendergast said was linked to a 2019 burglary in Hernando County. Thirty-seven-year-old David Henriquez, an associate of Scriven, is believed to have been connected to that crime, and he was arrested for drug trafficking and firearm theft charges.
