Excuse me Cindy...if you "know"the family...and I am curious to know which "family" you are speaking of, you would know that we are neither rich nor crooked. In the back room stands one of the greatest, most selfless men you will ever meet...My grandfather lives and breathes for his community and the people there...

People should not comment on what they know nothing about, my grandfather as well is being unjustly accused in this situation, I don't know the owners of Prime Drug, but I know my Grandfather and he is a family man!!!!

I am NOT surprised that this happened. I knew for YEARS that Prime Drug had shady dealings going on in that "back room" of theirs. How do I know? Well the fact that a relative of mine used to able to get Vicoden and without a prescription in that place because he knew the owners is more then enough. Yes, they (the owner and other guys who have worked there for years) are nice guys and all personally, but their ethics stink.

Before you throw the Prime Drug entity under the bus, I'll have you know that it is more than a one-man show...so for you to condescend and mar this pharmacy that has been around probably longer than you've been in existence shows a flaw in your own character. Before you judge I would hope you do a bit more research than to succumb to the heresay of what I'm assuming to be an addict.(Since you were so quick to jump to assumptions...how does it feel?) ETHICS? SHADY DEALINGS??? I'm sure if you were to overhear one of these "dealings" it would be that of a neighborhood mother or father asking for ten dollars to buy groceries...the ethics part of it? If it were the last ten dollars in the pocket of that old man in that "back room" (which, by the way, is called a pharmacy)...his pocket would be without a penny.

Ma'am, I will tell you right now that the relative I am talking about Carmine knew VERY well would go in there every time he needed some medication that his doctor couldn't (or wouldn't) prescribe to him. And yes, Carmine himself would sell him the meds. How do I know this: I was there. Nice guys and all, but come on, selling medicine not prescribed by a doctor is HARDLY ethical. Just because someone is nice personally doesn't mean they are the most ethical people around. Granted my old man himself wasn't exactly the most ethical person himself to go ask for such a thing either.

Defend him all you want, but there are others who know that these things have been going on for years.

Carmine is not the one I'm defending... my grandfather has been a staple in that community for half a century and I am sick over the whole situation. 50 plus years down the drain...that pharmacy and the community were his life...

There aren't rookie cops this is FEDERAL where talking about. That don't just raid places they step up a sting which means they listen by phone and watch by camera. The thought they could screw everyone and use the nice guy act but look what happened. They are going to lose every dollar and license they ever had. KEEP DRUGS AND GUNS OFF THE STREET LOCK EM UP FOR LIFE
