OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A former member of the state Board of Health accused of selling drugs used to make methamphetamine has waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Attorney General Drew Edmondson says Lawton pharmacist Haskell Lee Evans Jr. took the action on Wednesday in Comanche County District Court.
A multicounty grand jury indicted Evans in July on four felony counts of recklessly selling products used to produce methamphetamine.
Evans also faces three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to report information to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
The indictment lists multiple instances where Evans distributed the medications without following state law, including one instance where he sold the drugs to a known producer of methamphetamine.
Evans' attorney, Mack Martin, says no trial date has been set.
