SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) – A federal grand jury has indicted a 63-year-old
southwest Missouri physician accused of receiving kickbacks from a
pharmaceutical company for prescribing fentanyl spray. Prosecutors alleged
Thursday that Randall Halley, of Nixa, became one of the top prescribers of
fentanyl spray in the country while working at medical facilities in Nixa,
Springfield, Marionville and Ozark. The indictment alleges Halley wrote more
than 355 prescriptions for fentanyl spray from May 2013 to March 2019. In
return, an Arizona-based company that produced the spray allegedly paid Halley
$92,225 in kickbacks. Halley’s attorney, Thomas Carver, says his client will
fight the allegations. He says Halley never did anything to endanger other human
beings.
