A Florida pharmacist and pharmacy owner was sentenced to 90 months in prison for her role in illegally dispensing over 300,000 oxycodone 30mg pills to customers who had no medical need for the drug. Olushola Yusuf, 60, of Tampa, owned and operated Boots LLC (Striderite) in Margate and Chans Pharmacy Plus in Pembroke Pines. According to court documents and trial evidence, she dispensed at least 335,351 oxycodone 30mg pills, charged cash prices up to ten times the typical cost, kept pharmacy doors locked for select customers, and continued the practice despite warnings from employees and the DEA. A jury convicted her of conspiracy to illegally distribute drugs and five counts of illegal drug distribution after a two-week trial in July 2026. Her co-defendant pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing.
