$1.2 millionCash one Houston pill mill took in
A Houston-area pill mill run by a doctor and his stepson collected more than $1.2 million in cash in just 14 months while distributing over 600,000 opioid and other controlled-substance doses.
Dr. Oscar Lightner's Jomori Health and Wellness charged $250 to $500 per visit while his stepson recruited people from homeless shelters to pose as patients. A federal jury convicted Lightner in April 2023; he was sentenced to seven years, and his stepson to 84 months.
