YOUNGSTOWN

A pretrial hearing for Boardman pharmacist Gary Evankovich conducted Friday was continued until Oct. 27 at 10 a.m. before Mahoning County Common Pleas Judge Lou A. D’Apolito.

Evankovich, 54, owner of North Lima and Bel-Park pharmacies, was charged in a long-distance Internet prescription scheme with alleged offenses occurring in 2005 and 2006.

Judge D’Apolito dismissed the 24-count indictment, but the 7th District Court of Appeals ruled the judge erred and returned the case to him for trial.
