The U.S. Attorney’s Office on June 28 returned an indictment charging Jacksonville pharmacist Alan Abidogun with one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and three counts of filing false tax returns.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
If convicted, Abidogun faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for the drug offense and up to three years imprisonment for each of the tax offenses.
