FINDINGS OF FACT

 

After having heard the testimony, observed the demeanor of the witnesses, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds the follow­ing to be fact:

 

(1)  Records of the State Board of Pharmacy indicate that Dennis Edward Chapin was origi­nally licensed by the State of Ohio as a pharmacist on March 22, 1983, pursu­ant to reciprocity, and that his license to practice pharmacy in Ohio was summarily suspended effective May 20, 2003.  Records further reflect during the relevant time periods stated herein, Dennis Edward Chapin was the Responsible Pharmacist at Medicine Shoppe, 603 Main Street, Hamilton, Ohio pursuant to Sections 4729.27 and 4729.55 of the Ohio Revised Code and Rule 4729-5-11 of the Ohio Administra­tive Code.

 

(2)  Dennis Edward Chapin is addicted to controlled substances, to wit: Dennis Edward Chapin has admitted to a Board agent that he is addicted to codeine (Tylenol #4), a Schedule III Controlled Substance, and butalbital (Fiorinal), a Sched­ule III Controlled Substance.  Dennis Edward Chapin has stated that he began abusing drugs approxi­mately 16 years ago, and for the past several years his use has escalated to approximately 20 to (22 tablets per day.  Dennis Edward Chapin advised that he has diverted approximately 80,000 tablets over the sixteen-year time period.  When experiencing withdrawal symp­toms, he diverted up to 20 lopera­mide hydrochloride per day, and atropine sul­fate/­diphenoxylate hydrochloride, a Schedule V Controlled Substance, to relieve his symptoms.

 

(3)  Dennis Edward Chapin did, on or about April 14, 2003, knowingly possess con­trolled substances when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: when Dennis Edward Chapin’s son was stopped by police in possession of the following drugs, Dennis Edward Chapin admitted to officers that the drugs belonged to him:

Such conduct is in violation of Section 2925.11 of the Ohio Revised Code.

 

(4)  Dennis Edward Chapin did, on or about April 14, 2003, knowingly possess a dan­gerous drug when the conduct was not in accordance with Chapters 3719., 4729., and 4731. of the Ohio Revised Code, to wit: when Dennis Edward Chapin’s son was stopped by police in possession of 8 unit doses of sucralfate 1 g., Dennis Edward Chapin admitted to officers that the drugs belonged to him.  Such conduct is in viola­tion of Section 2925.11 of the Ohio Revised Code.

DECISION OF THE BOARD

 

Pursuant to Section 3719.121 of the Ohio Revised Code, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby removes the Summary Suspension Order issued to Dennis Edward Chapin on May 20, 2003.

 

Pursuant to Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code, and after consideration of the record as a whole, the State Board of Pharmacy adjudicates the matter of Dennis Edward Chapin as follows:

 

(A)  On the basis of the Findings of Fact and Conclu­sions of Law set forth above, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby suspends indefinitely the pharmacist identification card, No. 03-1-14952, held by Dennis Edward Chapin and such suspension is effec­tive as of the date of the mailing of this Order.

 

(1) Dennis Edward Chapin, pursuant to Rule 4729-9-01(F) of the Ohio Admini­strative Code, may not be employed by or work in a facility licensed by the State Board of Pharmacy to possess or distribute dangerous drugs during such period of suspension.

 

(2) Dennis Edward Chapin, pursuant to Section 4729.16(B) of the Ohio Re­vised Code, must return his identification card and license (wall certificate) to the office of the State Board of Pharmacy within ten days after receipt of this Order unless the Board office is already in possession of both.  The identification card and wall certificate should be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

 

(B)  On the basis of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law set forth above, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby imposes a monetary penalty of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) on Dennis Edward Chapin and payment of the mone­tary penalty is due and owing within thirty days of the mailing of this Order.  The remittance should be made payable to the "Treasurer, State of Ohio" and mailed with the enclosed form to the State Board of Pharmacy, 77 South High Street, Room 1702, Columbus, Ohio 43215-6126.

 

Further, after two years from the effective date of this Order, the Board will consider any peti­tion filed by Dennis Edward Chapin for a hearing, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Chap­ter 119., for reinstatement.  The Board will only consider reinstatement of the license to practice pharmacy in Ohio if the following conditions have been met:

 

(A)  Dennis Edward Chapin must enter into a new contract, signed within thirty days after the effective date of this Order, with an Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addic­tion Services (ODADAS) treatment provider or a treatment provider acceptable to the Board for a period of not less than five years and, upon signing, mail a copy of the contract to the Board office.  The contract must provide that:

 

(1)  Random, observed urine drug screens shall be conducted at least once each month.

 

(a)  The urine sample must be given within twelve hours of notifi­cation.  The urine drug screen must include testing for creatinine or specific gravity of the sample as the dilutional standard.

 

(b)  Results of all drug screens must be negative.  Refusal of a drug screen or a diluted drug screen is equivalent to a positive result.  Any positive results, including those which may have resulted from ingestion of food, but excluding false positives which resulted from medication legitimately prescribed, indicates a violation of the con­tract.

 

(2)  Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alco­holics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meeting.

 

(3)  The program shall immediately report to the Board any violations of the con­tract and/or lack of cooperation.

(C) Dennis Edward Chapin must provide, at the reinstatement petition hearing, docu­men­tation of the following:

 

(1)  Compliance with the contract required above (e.g.-proof of giving the sample within twelve hours of notification and copies of all drug screen reports, meeting attendance records, treatment program reports, etc.);

 

(2)  Compliance with the continuing pharmacy education requirements set forth in Chapter 4729-7 of the Ohio Administrative Code as applicable and in effect on the date of petitioning the Board for reinstatement;
