Evankovich appeals loss of his pharmacist's license

YOUNGSTOWN — A Boardman man has appealed the state’s revocation of his pharmacist’s license.

On Monday, Gary A. Evankovich, 54, of Devonshire Drive, filed the notice of appeal in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and a request for a stay of the revocation. The case is assigned to Judge James C. Evans, who hasn’t ruled yet on the stay request.

After a four-day hearing, the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy permanently revoked Evankovich’s license last month based on allegations that he participated in a long-distance Internet prescription scheme involving more than 15,000 prescriptions and almost 1.5 million doses of medication.
