Board revokes registration of pharmacy worker after alleged diversion of thousands of pills
Summary
The Board revoked the certificate of a registered pharmacy worker, finding diversion of multiple controlled-substance formulations (listed in the record), imposed attorney fees, and barred petition for reinstatement for five years.
The Nevada State Board of Pharmacy revoked the controlled-substance registration of Alyssa Mercedes Garcia after finding she diverted substantial quantities of controlled medications from Smith’s Pharmacy #315.
General Counsel Brett Kandt alleged Ms. Garcia diverted 9,515 Alprazolam 1 mg tablets, 19,908 Alprazolam 2 mg tablets and 1,018 Tramadol 50 mg tablets. The Board entered Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law consistent with the Accusation, found the respondent guilty on five counts, revoked Certificate of Registration No. PT20499 and barred petition for reinstatement for five years. The Board also awarded attorney’s fees and costs in the amount of $2,277.45, due by Dec. 1, 2025, and made the order effective immediately; motions passed unanimously.
Smith’s Pharmacy #315 and one managing pharmacist are listed in the minutes as related respondents; some matters were continued to a future Board meeting. Ms. Garcia did not appear at the proceeding, and the Board admitted service and exhibits into the record before entering its orders.
