The Waldron Police Department made an announcement on Wednesday, February 10 regarding an ongoing investigation into a former local pharmacist.
William Doles, 35, of Waldron was arrested on three warrants and faces six felony drug charges. The arrest stems from incidents that occurred while Doles was employed as a pharmacist at Health-Wise Pharmacy in Waldron. The charges include two counts of delivery of a schedule I/II controlled substance/not methamphetamine, three counts of controlled substance/fraudulent practices, and one count of delivery of a schedule III controlled substance.
An investigation of Doles was initiated by the WPD, along with the Arkansas 15th Drug Task Force (DTF) in August of 2020, after the department received an anonymous tip that Doles was distributing controlled substances, without prescriptions, while at the pharmacy.
Doles is currently in custody at the Scott County Detention Center with bond set at $100k. His arraignment is scheduled for March 2, 2021.
