BEAUMONT -- A Southeast Texas man is out of jail on bond after deputies say they arrested him for running an illegal pill trafficking operation. Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputies believe 56 year old Kenneth James Fuselier was sending people to Houston pain management clinics to gather prescriptions and bring back thousands of prescription pills.

Deputies say with the help of informants, they can prove that more than ten people were working with Fuselier.

According to Lieutenant Troy Tucker during this pill bust the traffickers had just returned from Houston and dropped off the bottles at a home in Port Acres. After the pill distribution, officers say many of them fled the scene. That's when officers raided the home and say they found the empty bottles and dozens of hydrocodone tablets.

Deputies say Fuselier faces a state jail felony and up to two years in prison.

These a** clowns are the ones who make it difficult for those of us in chronic pain to get the medication we need. I go to Houston because I have no other choice. I see these dickweeds getting scrips just to return and sell them. Doctors should demand medical records for each patient. So many do not and they are in this for the $$$ and they are making a lot of it. This poor guy has one eye north and one west. He probably needed help reading the prescription bottles. I hope they all go down.
