The benefit of a Mountain pharmacy has been ripped away from the
community.

As of April 14, Williams Pharmacy has closed its doors, no longer able to
sustain its business due to multiple break-ins resulting in loss of medications.
“We are sad over the demise,” Pharmacist Jeff Williams told The Mountain
Times. “We were broken into again over Easter and with the extent of drug
abuse in the area, three times was a charm. All involved, us, DEA (Drug
Enforcement Agency) and the pharmacy board all sensed a concern for overall
security.”

Williams was quick to thank the community who supported his effort, and
noted the difference between the majority of those who lead honest and
productive lives and “these small minded pathetic parasites” who violated the
pharmacy.

“I don’t know where it will end, but I will no longer create a supply of
narcotics to addicts in our community,” Williams wrote in a notice posted at
the pharmacy in the Rendezvous Center.

A pipeline has been set up for pharmacy clients. Walgreens, in Sandy, has
agreed to pick up the phone number, transfer all records and service the
patients, according to Williams.

“Walgreens, in our opinion, is the most efficient and best for clinical care,” he
said.
