Board Of Health Member Faces Meth Charges

Lawton pharmacist Haskell Lee Evans Jr., a member of the State Board of Health, has been indicted for allegedly selling drugs used to make the illegal stimulant methamphetamine.

Governor Henry and Attorney General Drew Edmondson called on Evans to resign his state post.

Evans was named in four felony and three misdemeanor counts in a multicounty grand jury indictment unsealed Tuesday in Comanche County.

The four felony counts accuse Evans of recklessly selling meth precursors, while the three misdemeanors are for failure to report information to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics.
