After receiving a tip earlier in the day, Bayonne police arrested Friday a town resident and pharmacy technician who admitted to stealing more than 2,000 Oxycontin pills over a six-month period, officials said today. Mena Mekhael, 21, of Lord Avenue, was arrested as he was leaving the Jerry's Drug & Surgical Supply at 455 Broadway near West 21st Street, at 6:45 p.m. Friday, police said. He was hit with a slew of drug charges, including theft of a controlled dangerous substance (CDS), possession of CDS Oxycontin, possession of CDS Xanax, possession of CDS with intent to distribute, and possession of marijuana under 50 grams, police said. The store's head pharmacist reported to police Friday morning that 2,119 Oxycontin pills were missing from the pharmacy's inventory, Bayonne Acting Police Chief Ralph Scianni said.

If I were on the jury the only excuse needed to get out of the intent to distribute charge would be.....I needed that many Pain Pills and Xanax to be able to listen to Obama’s speeches! LOL

“Bayonne police arrested Friday”

Wow, that’s some feat. Maybe Saturday will bail it out.

I wonder if Obama is addicted to Oxycontin. He has trouble hearing and comprehending intelligence. Maybe he needs the Oxycontin to take the edge off his cocaine highs, and to sooth the pain of his being him. This could explain why he has problems reading the teleprompter at times.

Having worked in a major hospital for many years I know that they keep a *very* close watch on all controlled substances.One would think that a pharmacy would keep even tighter control of such things.Something doesn't add up here.

whats remarkable about the bamey machine is that there is absolutely no rumors about his behavior...they must have such a tight net around him....I guess if you can get yourself elected president without a legit BC, nor college diploma or draft card, or school grades or paychecks and with a SS that originates 10,000 miles from where you said you were born....anything is possible....
