Bridgeport
mayor arrested for oxy dispensing
Bridgeport
Mayor Mario Blount was arrested Tuesday on federal drug charges , about seven months after
his Best Care Pharmacy stores in Bridgeport, Lumberport and Weston were raided
by the Greater Harrison Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force and the DEA.
According
to a press release, Blount is alleged to have conspired with two other
individuals, Angela Davis, 50, of Bridgeport, and her daughter, April Davis,
23, of Marietta, Ga., to illegally dispensed more than 11,000 oxycodone and
oxymorphone pills in three years.
A quarter of a mile away from
Blount’s Best Care Pharmacy, on Main Street, is the Bridgeport office of Fairmont
Dr. Edita Milan, 74, who was charged last July in the pill mill case, only
weeks after the Drug Task Force and DEA had raided her Bridgeport office.
Several others also have been added to the investigation, and their trials are
pending in federal court.
