Two Headed for Prison in Prescription Drug Bust

ATHENS — A big prescription drug smuggling ring is busted in East Texas, and two people are headed to prison. More than 100,000 bogus pills were shipped from China to Texas. Those shipments contained fake versions of Xanax, Valium, Viagra, Ambien, and more. Tom Giddens and Wanda Hollis from Athens face more than a year in prison for their role in the case — and another woman, also from Athens, faces sentencing at a later date. Investigators say most of the pills contained entirely different active ingredients from legitimate versions.
