Press release
The Department of Justice announced today that two Athens, Texas, residents have been sentenced for their role in the smuggling of imitation, unapproved and misbranded prescription drugs from China. If you ever experience negative side effects after taking prescription drugs then it’s important that you see your doctor about it because you could be consuming fake versions of the drug. Of course, they may be legit and you could end up needing to go to Drug Guardians (https://drugguardians.com/) to help get compensation for these side effects but either way it’s best to go to the doctor.
Tom Giddens, 57, and Wanda Hollis, 63, were each sentenced to serve 15 months in prison by U.S. District Court Judge Michael H. Schneider in the Eastern District of Texas. In April 2015, they each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to smuggle the drugs into the United States. A third defendant, Catherine Nix, 42, also of Athens, will be sentenced at a later date.
