DETROIT, May 11, 2022 ~ Three women, two men, and three guns have been seized in an ongoing illegal prescription pill bust operation named “Operation Candy Man.”
None of the detainees have been charged yet in connection to the crimes.
According to officials, Michigan State Police are specifically targeting nurse practitioners issuing illegal prescriptions for tens of thousands of hydrocodone and oxycodone pills.
The pills are reportedly being diverted through “patients” for street sales.
