A Southern California doctor accused of links to five overdose deaths and
writing prescriptions for narcotics he knew would be sold on the street
was arrested Tuesday.
Dzung Ahn Pham of Irvine in Orange County was charged with two federal
counts of illegally distributing oxycodone.
He sold powerful narcotic prescriptions to drug addicts and dealers who
resold the pills, according to the a criminal complaint. At least five
people who received and filled prescriptions from Pham died of drug
overdoses between 2014 and 2017, the Department of Justice's Central
District of California said in a press release.
Prosecutors say that among Pham's text messages was one expressing concern
after he received information that one of his prescriptions was tied to
Ian David Long, the gunman who killed 12 people at the Borderline Bar and
Grill in Thousand Oaks, the release said.
Pham prescribed an undercover agent with the Drug Enforcement
Administration hydrocodone, Valium, and muscle relaxer carisoprodol in the
course of two visits. That combination of drugs is sometimes referred to
as a "triple threat" for its deadliness, according to the criminal
complaint.
The doctor allegedly charged $100 to $150 per office visit at an urgent
care center he owns, and over the last five years deposited more than $5
million into personal bank accounts.
Investigators found Pham's prescriptions were banned by CVS Pharmacy years
ago after he failed justify the number of opioid pills he was prescribing.
Pham is scheduled to appear in United States District Court in Santa Ana
on Tuesday and faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison if
convicted.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
