July 25, 2024 – Federal officials reported that 32-year-old Jasmine McGregor and 35-year-old Jhenelle Lewis of Paterson admitted to conspiring with Dr. Lisa Ferraro to illegally prescribe oxycodone pills.McGregor and Lewis both confessed to knowingly and intentionally conspiring with Ferraro to distribute controlled substances outside the usual course of professional practice.
The doctor wrote prescriptions for 90 pills of 30mg oxycodone each, which were then split between Ferraro, a recruiter of fake patients, and the fake patients themselves.
One of these so-called patients had been in jail for nearly two years yet received over 5,300 pills without any medical examination.
Between July 2022 and October 2023, Dr. Ferraro wrote prescriptions for approximately 630 20mg oxycodone pills and around 11,410 30mg oxycodone pills in conspiracy with McGregor.
With Lewis, the numbers were similarly staggering, with Ferraro prescribing approximately 9,450 30mg oxycodone pills from January 2019 to September 2023. In total, over 36,000 oxycodone pills were involved in this illegal distribution network.
The recipients of these prescriptions included individuals incarcerated in federal prisons, further highlighting the audacity and reach of this scheme.
