City law enforcement officials have had the business under surveillance for about a month, said City Administrator Eddie Peterson.
Calhoun Police Chief Garry Moss said his department had received numerous complaints about people loitering and cars spilling over from the clinic’s parking lot to the parking lots of nearby businesses.
Moss said his department did not suspect any illegal drug activity was going on at the clinic, but the State Medical Board and Georgia Drug and Narcotics Agency were called in to make sure that the business was complying with state laws concerning the distribution of narcotics and patient treatment.
He said the business had been open since last Thanksgiving. A doctor on staff volunteered to sign over the drugs, Moss said.
“We seized 196,329 pills,” Moss said.
Those pills were mostly pain medications like OxyContin and lorezapam, he said.
The pills will likely be destroyed after state officials finish their investigation, he said.
No charges were filed against the business, the owners or any patrons on Wednesday, police said.
