Lloyd-Turney, 66, wrote multiple subscriptions for controlled substances to patients who were actively abusing other drugs, suffering from addiction, and selling the pills, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Her guilty plea came while a federal jury in Huntsville was deliberating on whether to convict her 15 criminal charges, the DOJ said. Prosecutors agreed to dismiss the remaining 14 charges in exchange for Lloyd-Turney’s plea.
The investigation involved the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Huntsville, Alabama police department.
