License Revoked for Pharmacist Trading Prescription Drugs for Sex
(Lincoln, NE) Attorney General Jon Bruning today announced that Nebraska’s Chief Medical Officer has revoked the pharmacy license of Randy Paulsen, 65, of Omaha.
“Mr. Paulsen used his license to have his way with women who couldn’t afford medication,” Bruning said. “He’s no longer allowed to practice pharmacy in Nebraska.”
In March, an investigation by the State Pharmacy Inspector and the Drug Enforcement Administration Diversion Investigator found Paulsen had been exchanging free prescription drugs for sexual favors with two female customers over the last four to six years. Investigators also conducted a controlled substance audit at Randy’s Pharmacy. The audit determined certain controlled substances were missing from the pharmacy’s inventory, including Ativan, an antianxiety medication, and Tussionex, a pain medication.
In April, following the investigation, Paulsen’s license was temporarily suspended. Assistant Attorney General Lisa Anderson handled the complaint.
