Ohio sheriff pleads not guilty to drug and theft charges

FREMONT, Ohio (AP) — A sheriff who is up for re-election this fall pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he stole medications from prescription drug disposal drop boxes, deceived doctors into giving him painkillers and misused department funds. The probe started after police chiefs in the county said it was odd that Overmyer had been collecting prescription pills from drop boxes, several media outlets reported. According to the indictment, he deceived physicians and pharmacists to obtain prescription pain medication, including Percocet, hydrocodone and oxycodone.
