Pharmacy faculty waives prelim
Pharmacy faculty member Billy Day waived his preliminary hearing Jan. 8 on felony drug charges for allegedly purchasing controlled substances using University or grant funds. This will allow the case to go to trial in Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, at a date to be set later.
Day was charged with 18 counts of “the acquisition or obtaining of possession of a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception or subterfuge” after being arrested by Pitt police last year. He is a faculty member in the departments of pharmaceutical sciences, chemistry, environmental and occupational health and computational and systems biology.
