MOBILE, Ala. — A federal grand jury has indicted three owners of a Mobile-based pharmacy, four pharmacists and five others in a $4 million steroid distribution scheme that allegedly operated in at least 10 states, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.
The indictment of Applied Pharmacy Services Inc. owners Samuel Kelley, 42, Jason R. Kelley, 31, and Jodi C. Silvio, 49, and the others was unsealed as six of the defendants faced an initial hearing in U.S. District Court in Mobile.
Authorities said 11 people had been taken into custody and one was a fugitive. All those appearing in court here declined comment after being released. They face arraignment Wednesday.
