Pauline Wiltshire, everyone's favorite stripper-turned-med-student-turned-alleged-drug-dealer, was indicted yesterday on charges of conspiring to distribute the prescription drug Adderall. She is accused of selling thousands of the pills prescribed by her gambling anesthesiologist boyfriend to Park Slope residents. She faces 10 years in prison under federal law, and was also hit with a $30,000 forfeiture charge seeking proceeds from drug sales if she's found guilty. But currently, she's done what New Yorkers have been telling those they don't like for years, and gone back to Ohio.
After posting $100,000 bail Wiltshire moved in with her mom in Portsmouth, Ohio. Over an 18-month period, Wiltshire received prescriptions for over 2,000 Adderall pills, which the DEA said, “were frequently filled in a succession of dates too close together to have been used exclusively for legitimate medical purposes." Today the DEA also announced "Nationwide Prescription Drug Take-Back Day" on April 30th, which will "give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs...no questions asked." You can find your local donation site by going to the DEA website and clicking "Got Drugs?" We know you need your fix, DEA, but chill.
