ALBANY, N.Y. AP – A New York judge threw out an indictment against five operators of a Florida pharmacy targeted almost two years ago in an investigation of illegal steroid sales over the Internet and by phone.
Albany County Judge Stephen Herrick faulted the disjointed, confusing way county prosecutors presented the case against Signature Pharmacy of Orlando to a grand jury. He dismissed the indictment Thursday against key figures at the center of the case: pharmacy owners Robert “Stan” Loomis and Naomi Loomis, pharmacist Michael Loomis, and former business managers Kirk Calvert and Anthony Palladino.
