Board orders immediate suspension for licensee in 2025-PHA-21027 case
Summary
The Maine Board of Pharmacy voted to immediately suspend a pharmacist's license in case 2025-PHA-21027 for alleged attempted theft of prescription drugs, and scheduled an adjudicatory hearing within 30 days.
The Maine Board of Pharmacy voted Nov. 6 to adopt an order of immediate suspension for the licensee in case 2025-PHA-21027, citing a violation of 32 M.R.S. § 13742‑A(1)(C) and Board Rule Ch. 30(1)(17). Board member Timothy McCormack moved the order; the motion was seconded by Complaint Officer Eric Norberg and recorded as carried with members Samantha Emmons, Nicholas Haar and President Edward Kane in favor.
"McCormack moved to adopt order of immediate suspension amended per discussion for case 2025-PHA-21027 for violation of 32 M.R.S. § 13742‑A(1)(C), for engaging in unprofessional conduct as defined by the Board Rule Ch. 30(1)(17) for attempting to commit '[t]heft (including but not limited to, prescription drugs) while licensed to practice pharmacy.'" The board scheduled an adjudicatory hearing within 30 days to adjudicate the matter. The motion and recorded vote were entered into the official minutes; Ahmedfatah Ahmed and Bradley Hamilton were absent.
The action is a formal disciplinary suspension pending hearing; the minutes do not provide additional factual detail about the alleged incident. The board cited the specific statute and Board Rule in its motion; the hearing date will determine whether the suspension is converted to a final sanction, or whether another disposition is reached.
