An undercover drug deal worked by the Special Investigations Division of the Bay County Sheriff’s Office landed two women in the Bay County Jail Thursday night.
Jamie Catherine Overstreet, of Callaway, and April Dawn Hamblin, were arrested after they attempted to sell the powerful pain killer oxycodone to undercover narcotics officers Thursday evening in Callaway.
Overstreet and Hamblin stated to investigators they had just returned from Fort Lauderdale and had obtained the pills from doctors in Broward County. Both were charged with Possession With Intent to Distribute and Attempted Sale of Oxycodone.
Oxycodone is the opioid pain medication found in Percocet, Percodan, and OxyContin. Broward County currently leads the nation in the amount of Oxycodone dispensed directly by physicians, second only to neighboring Palm Beach County.
The top 25 physicians in the United States who received the largest quantities of Oxycodone for direct dispensing from their offices all operate in the state of Florida.
Eighteen were working in Broward County with the remaining seven from four other Florida counties.

When I hear about people getting pain killers and selling them, it makes my blood boil! I was taking meds strictly for pain and used them sparingly when I discovered over three years ago I have cirrhosis of the liver and, surprising to me at the time, it was caused by pain meds, something even as simple as Tylenol! What if one of these girls had sold someone this pain medication and someone had actually died from a drug overdose? How would they live with that fact? I know my drugs were by prescription only but I live every day with the knowledge that I allowed myself to take these pain medications to help ease my chronic pain, and yet the end result is that I have only created a more severe diagnosis for myself. Although I am still in a lot of pain all the time, I no longer take medications unless I absolutely have to have them. As for the economy, well, girls, there's always a means of getting money... by working honestly!
