A 52-year-old Texas man, Jonathan Jefferson Ferris, was convicted Monday, June 28, for impersonating a federal agent on two counts.
U.S. Attorney Ashley C. Hoff and FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Combs made the announcement today.
A federal jury was presented evidence that Ferris visited a Temple pharmacy on multiple occasions in July and August of 2019, attempting to fill an out-of-state prescription for Fentanyl patches, according to the release.
Ferris purposely identified himself as an FBI agent, that was on an out-of-town assignment, and used false documentation as well as a fake FBI identification card on a lanyard to get pharmacists to fulfill his request.
