CHARLESTON â A Drug Enforcement Administration agent-turned-investigative executive for AmerisourceBergen Drug Corp. testified Friday at an opioid trial in Charleston about drug diversion control regulations and what the companyâs policies were to follow them.
The trial, taking place before Senior U.S. District Court Judge David Faber at the Robert C. Byrd U.S. Courthouse, centers around allegations made by Cabell County and Huntington against the âBig Threeâ drug wholesalers of sparking the opioid crisis by sending 127.9 million opiate doses into Cabell County from 2006-14. A reduction in the amount of pills shipped led opioid users to turn to illicit drugs, they said.
