GREENEVILLE — Ann Evamay Noor, 56, formerly of Piney Flats, Tenn., was sentenced Thursday in Greeneville federal court to serve 14 months in prison for distributing oxycodone prescribed to her by a Knoxville doctor.
Noor, the wife of Dr. Sidi Noor, received prescriptions for oxycodone (including OxyContin), fentanyl, and diazepam from Dr. Frank McNiel of Bearden Healthcare Associates in Knoxville. Noor reported she was addicted to fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic having a potency a hundred times that of morphine, and that she sold the oxycodone and some of the OxyContin prescribed to her.
During August 2010, Noor sold oxycodone to an informant at her residence in Piney Flats. Over $10,000 in cash was seized from her residence during the execution of a federal search warrant in September 2010. In July 2010, Noor received and filled prescriptions for 450 oxycodone 30 mg tablets; 240 OxyContin 80 mg tablets; 90 fentanyl transdermal patches; 360 diazepam 10 mg tablets; and 600 carisoprodol 350 mg tablets.
