Three in North Georgia facing charges in oxycodone case

Two former pharmacists in Chatsworth, Ga., and a suspended Dalton High School bus driver will head to court next week, accused of stealing and reselling oxycodone.

Sheila Cagle and Amy Bearden, employees at Living Well Pharmacy, bus driver Amy Johnson, and Jeremiah Fiek are each facing five counts of distribution and one count of conspiracy, the indictment shows.

Cagle and Bearden are accused of stealing oxycodone from Living Well in May and early June, court documents show. Cagle sold the painkillers to Johnson who then resold them to Fiek, the documents claim.

Prosecutors said they couldn’t comment on whether Johnson was also selling drugs to students.

Johnson, an eight-year employee with First Student, a transportation company that contracts with Dalton Public Schools for buses, is suspended without pay. School they haven’t been informed of any illegal activity at the high school and First Student officials said they are also doing their own internal investigation.
