June 8, 2022 – “Gbenedio used his pharmacy as a pill-mill to supply highly addictive narcotics to drug dealers and drug addicts,” U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia Ryan Buchanan said in a news release Wednesday. “His greed exacerbated the opioid epidemic that continues to plague our community.”
Buchanan said the investigation began after the Georgia Drug and Narcotics Agency conducted a routine inspection at Better Way Pharmacy in Mableton, which Gbenedio owned. Authorities noticed that many of Gbenedio’s customers were driving from out of state to get prescriptions filled.
Several were for large quantities of addictive opioids, Buchanan said, and many appeared to be from the same physician.
